      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/How-to-be-a-Trendsetter-on-Prom-Night/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/2/8/2837.jpg" border="0" width="400" style="margin: 2px 3px; border: 0pt none; float: right;" />The prom is one event in your life where you can wear the dress of your dreams, beautiful accessories and all those special occasion items that have been put away for, well, something special. Get them out now because it's prom time and you are going to look fabulous. The prom is also a great time to be a trendsetter, wearing something that no one else is wearing nor has ever seen before. Be a trend setter for your prom by following a few fashion tips and have everyone remembering you on prom night. <br /><br /><strong>Check out the Red Carpet</strong><br /><br />Celebrities know fashion and designers trust them to wear their styles with ease on the red carpet. If you want to be a trendsetter on prom night, check out celebrity styles in magazines or on-line and copy what they are wearing. Red carpet dresses that are new arrivals to a site or a store is a wise choice if you want to look chic and trendy. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/nika-8124" target="_blank">Nika 8124</a> is one hot, new red carpet dress that has just been introduced. <br /><br /><strong>Choose Wisely</strong><br /><br />Not every trend is for every body type. Make sure that the dress you choose fits your personality and also looks fantastic on your body. Don't choose a high-low dress if you want to avoid showing off your calves or ankles. Strapless might not be the best choice if you haven't worked those triceps in a while. Super tight and super short usually looks fabulous on bodies that are in the best shape. Know your body and what looks good and play up your assets. Trying to set a trend will bomb if you don't look your best in what you are wearing. <br /><br /><strong>New Arrivals</strong><br /><br />Narrow down your search by looking for new arrivals at your favorite website or asking for them at your favorite store. New arrivals like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/janique-2837" target="_blank">Janique 2837</a> are good bets if you want something unique and trendy in a floor length prom gown. Or go short with the Holt Miami Taylor, a long-sleeved, embellished mini dress that looks like it just walked the red carpet itself. <br /><br /><strong>Accessories</strong><br /><br />Pair your dress with trendy accessories by scouring the web to find what's hot right now. A ton of sandals and pumps hit the scene at New York Fashion Week and you can find the perfect shoe to match your dress by looking at some photos from Fashion Week. <br /><br />A trendy dress can also be paired with a classic clutch bag, think a tiny Chanel with a gold chain, so don't feel like you have to overdo it in the new arrival department to get your point across. Classics like gold or pearl earrings or classic bags never go out of style and will definitely compliment the dress that you choose. <br /><br />Do choose a trendy hairstyle to wear to prom. Great choices are the slick pony, either high or low, or a classic bun centered just a bit off to the side. These styles can complement most any dress and can help you pull off your trendy look with ease.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Dress for Prom on a Budget]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/How-to-Dress-for-Prom-on-a-Budget/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/2/0/2072_6768_f1.jpg" border="0" width="500" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px; border: 0pt none;" />Let's face it; going to the prom can be expensive. You can spend a ton of money just getting yourself ready. It's not just buying the dress that can cost you a pretty penny. It's the accessories and all the things you need to glamorize yourself. Fortunately, just because a lot of girls will be spending a fortune getting ready for prom, doesn't mean you have to. There are ways look great at your prom even if you are on a tight budget. Just keep in mind a few tips as you begin making purchases for your big night. <br /><br /><strong>Make a Budget</strong><br /><br />The first step is figuring out how much money you are going to need. Be realistic when making a budget. You are going to need to buy more than just a prom gown. You will need shoes, jewelry, a purse and something to wear over your dress if the night is cool. You will also need makeup and perhaps even a new hairstyle. <br /><br />Make a list of all the things you are going to need for prom and add it all up. Now that you see what you need, you can begin to eliminate certain items. <br /><br /><strong>Ways to Save Money</strong><br /><br />Save on salon expenses by doing your hair or having a friend do it for you. Keeping your hairstyle simple will make this easy. Slick your hair back into a low ponytail or wear it down and flowing. That will save you a pretty penny right there by doing it yourself. If you absolutely need to have your hair cut or colored before the prom, shop around for salons that won't cost you an arm and a leg. Some stylists work out of their home which saves on overhead costs. Finding one might be a great way to save a few dollars. <br /><br />Like your hairstyle, you can save on makeup by doing it yourself. Before the big night, head out to a few makeup counters in department stores near you so you can try on colors to see what works for you. If you are going to invest in makeup, be smart. Don't waste money on items that are perfectly fine purchased in a drug store like mascara or fake lashes. Spend money on an awesome eye shadow if you must. But otherwise, use what you have on hand or get it on the cheap. <br /><br /><strong>The Dress</strong><br /><br />Yes, you can find a fabulous prom dress on a budget. First check out clearance racks in stores or clearance sites on your favorite prom dress site. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2072" target="_blank">Alyce Paris 2072</a> is an incredible find and it won't break the bank. <br /><br /><strong>Accessories</strong><br /><br />You can really save on accessories if you borrow a clutch from your sister or a friend and wear minimal jewelry. You can usually find glitzy jewelry on sale at any department store but stick with earrings if you are going to go inexpensive. You do not want everyone talking about your gaudy necklace that you bought on sale somewhere. You get extra mileage out of a pair of dressy sandals or peep toe pumps in a neutral color so think about that when buying shoes for prom.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Dress Like a Celebrity for Prom]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/2/1/2196_1.jpg" border="0" width="300" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px;" />If you are going to your prom this year, finding the perfect dress can be a daunting experience. You can look and try on dresses left and right and still not find exactly what you are looking for, particularly if you have something in mind. You may have seen a celebrity in a magazine wearing a gown you just know would be perfect for you. If this is the case and you want to know how to dress like a celebrity for your school prom, read on. <br /><br /><strong>Glamour and Teen Vogue</strong><br /><br />Pick up a copy of any teen fashion magazine and you can find celebrity inspired prom dresses. Most of the time, these magazines have the designer's name along with pricing for the dress and any accessories the celebrity might be rocking in the magazine. Just leaf through some magazines and find the look you are going for. If you find a dress that is out of your price range, you will most likely be able to find a similar style at an on-line site. Magazine websites also feature celebrity looks so you have options if you want to skip buying a bunch of magazines. <br /><br /><strong>Red Carpet Style</strong><br /><br />Celebrities walk the red carpet so look for red carpet gowns when you are searching for a perfect prom dress. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-paris-2196" target="_blank">Alyce Paris 2196</a> is a stunning red carpet dress with a detachable skirt. This stunning piece features a glitzy strapless mini with a long flowing skirt that can be removed or not. It's sheer so you can see the bottom of the strapless dress through the skirt and the look is unique enough that you will probably be the only gal at your prom with one like it. <br /><br />The mesmerizing Holt Miami Empire gown is another red carpet beauty featuring a strapless, embellished bodice and long flowing skirt in a beautiful floral print. One of a kind is the look to go for when you're shooting for celebrity style fashion. Choosing a flawless red carpet dress will give you the confidence that seems to come easy to so many celebrities. <br /><br /><strong>Emulate your Icon</strong><br /><br />If you want to look like your favorite celebrity on prom night, try to copy her unique style. If you are going for an Emma Watson prom look, consider pulling back your hair with a thin headband. If you are going for a Selena Gomez look, play up your eye makeup and wear your hair in an up-do or over one shoulder. Dress for the prom a la Jennifer Lopez by wearing your hair down and rocking some chandelier earrings. <br /><br />The trick when dressing like a celebrity is to copy the parts of her style that you love and that will be becoming on you. You don't want to end up looking like a clone of your favorite actress or singer. Avoid going to extremes like dying your hair and cutting it short so you can look like Pink or Miley Cyrus. Be yourself and try to incorporate some of the things you love best about your favorite celebrity's look into your own look for prom night.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Prom Makeup Tips]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Prom-Makeup-Tips/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/1/1/113715_05.jpg" border="0" width="360" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/1/1/113715_04.jpg" border="0" width="360" height="480" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Prom is the perfect opportunity to play with makeup styles you've been dying to try. While you may have to be conservative at school or work, you can play up your makeup and give yourself a whole new, glamorous look for prom this year. Keep a few tips in mind when choosing your prom makeup, whether you do it yourself or enlist a stylist to help you. <br /><br /><strong>Book a Professional</strong><br /><br />If you are going to book a makeup professional, book early. It is likely that other girls around your town will be hiring makeup artists so do not wait until the last minute. Ask your stylist if she has experience in prom makeup before booking. Some may only do makeup for photographs, etc., so you want to make sure they have expertise in exactly what you want. If you have time, opt for a trial run with the makeup artists you are considering. This is the only way you will get a personal view of their work. If you do not have enough time for a trial run, at least look at some photos of the stylist's past work. Be skeptical if they do not have photos and stick to ones who do. <br /><br />If you are going to a professional, show her your dress beforehand or at least send her a picture of your dress so she can get some ideas in advance. While it is important for makeup to compliment your skin, you do not want it to clash with what you are wearing. If you are wearing a <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/tony-bowls-113715" target="_blank">Tony Bowls 113715</a> in purple, choose a neutral palette that will compliment your dress. <br /><br /><strong>DIY Makeup</strong><br /><br />If you are going to do makeup yourself, practice makes perfect. Grab a bunch of magazines and emulate the styles you like best. Make sure the makeup you choose goes with your dress. Sometimes if you wear a spectacular dress, you can get away with wearing minimal makeup. This is great for gals who really don't like to wear a lot to begin with. <br /><br />Don't pack on the makeup even if it is for a special event. Remember, with makeup, less is more and the trick is to look like you are wearing none at all. Cover up dark shadows around eyes with a bit of concealer or white makeup. Skip heavy eyeliner especially if you are going to be dancing under bright lights (no raccoon eyes!) Highlight your cheek bones with rosy colors and use foundation only on areas where you need it, not all over your face. <br /><br />Play up one specific area of your face if you want to put forth a bit of daring in your makeup. Go with a red lipstick but then keep eye makeup to a minimum. Neither feature will stand out the way you want if you go heavy on both. If you are going with red lips, use a neutral eye shadow and then use mascara to bring out your eyes. If you want to play up your eyes, go with a complimentary color on the lids and highlight under the brows with a lighter color. Downplay lips by going with a peach gloss or other light makeup.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Prom Make-Up Tips]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Prom-Make-Up-Tips/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9305_7.jpg" border="0" alt="BLUSH PROM 9305" width="333" height="500" style="float: left; border: 0px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9315_7.jpg" border="0" alt="BLUSH PROM 9315" width="333" height="500" style="float: left; border: 0px;" />Make-up is a fun way to enhance your best features and make you look beautiful.</p>
<p>Whether you are going on a big date or just spending a day running errands, make-up makes you look and feel glamorous.<br /><br />There are so many different colors and products on the market; you can achieve a variety of looks for both day and evening.</p>
<p>Well, when applying make-up, you always need to take into consideration the amount of light you will be exposed to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The more light that will be in your environment, the more subtle your makeup needs to be or else you will end up looking overdressed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Day Make-Up,&nbsp;this needs to be subtle and balanced. Neutral shades work best because they are subtle yet still define and enhance your features.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you have a feature you would like to focus on, you can wear colors that are a little bolder.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Look at the make-up of the models of<a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-9305"> BLUSH PROM 9305</a> and <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-9315">BLUSH PROM 9315</a>, their make-up suits best for a day party, their foundation is not too much, their blushes are light, natural pink shades that makes them look more stunning with bronze tan eye shadows and natural lip color. Make your make-up more natural and much lighter.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Evening makeup,&nbsp;this can be more dramatic, especially if you are attending a party or function where the lights will be dim.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t be afraid to wear bold colors and experiment more of what make-up best suits your evening dress and pick the best feature and wear the boldest colors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Best examples are the models of <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/la-femme-18556">LA FEMME 18556</a> and <a href="SHERRI HILL 21101">SHERRI HILL 21101</a>. Their eyes have much thicker coats of mascara and bold eyeliner. You can also use a bolder lipstick shade bolder than your daytime lipstick shade. This can give you a more dramatic look in the evening.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2108_7.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="300" style="margin: 2px 3px; float: left; border: 0pt none;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/1/1/113716a.jpg" border="0" width="223" height="299" style="margin: 2px 3px; float: left; border: 0pt none;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are going to your Prom this year, chances are you have an idea of what your dress will look like. You might already have your accessories chosen as well. But don't stop there. When planning for prom, now is the time to start thinking about hairstyles. You don't want to wait until the last minute especially if you are going for an elaborate up-do or a style that is going to take time and effort to complete. <br /><br /><strong>Book your Appointment</strong><br /><br />Popular stylists book fast during prom season. Call now to get an appointment with your stylist if you are going to wear an elaborate do to prom. Be careful when trying something new though. You don't want to have a hairstyle disaster right before prom. If you are going to change colors or go for an extreme cut, give yourself plenty of time to adjust before prom night arrives. That way, if you don't like your new look or color, you will have plenty of time to get it fixed before the big night. <br /><br /><strong>Consider your Dress</strong><br /><br />Before you decide on a hairstyle for prom, think about the dress you are going to wear. Some prom dresses look good with any hairstyle but with some, you might need to wear your hair up, parted on the side or in a style you may not otherwise wear. <br /><br />For example, if you choose a dress like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/la-femme-16759" target="_blank">La Femme 16759</a>, you may want to wear your hair in an up-do. Choose a simple chignon swept away from the face so your hair doesn't cover the detail of the shoulder piece on this dress. Since it is hard to wear a necklace with a one-shoulder dress so with an up-do hair style, you can wear glitzy earrings. <br /><br />Let your long hair flow if you choose a prom dress like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2069" target="_blank">Alyce Paris 2069</a> or the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2108" target="_blank">Alyce Paris 2108</a>. These strapless numbers are the perfect complement for long hair and you won't have to worry about your hair covering up embellishments around the neck or shoulders. But don't limit yourself when wearing dresses like this. You can wear your hair pulled to one side or wear a fancy up-do and then choose a bold statement necklace to wear with the dress. <br /><br />Your hair can be a work of art for prom so show it off with a dress with a low-cut back. Part hair on the side and pull it into a bun or a slick pony tail and adorn it with a glam clip. Loose braids or side buns also work to complement a low-cut back on a dress.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/l/a/lafemme16759_7.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="960" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/c/7/c7c1ebd2bdbf7f8e77c13ce4153313a1.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="960" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p><br /><strong>Hair Accessories</strong><br /><br />When choosing accessories for the hair, anything goes but be careful to not overdo your do. Silk flowers are a perfect choice for prom when paired with a dress like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/tony-bowls-113716a" target="_blank">Tony Bowls 113716</a>A or wear a slick pony tail with a glitzy barrette with the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/tony-bowls-ts11361" target="_blank">Tony Bowls TS11361</a>. Just remember that people are going to notice your dress and your jewelry well before they notice your hair accessories so stick to subtle accessories if you want to showcase your other items.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[The History of Women's Fashion and the Dress]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/The-History-of-Womens-Fashion-and-the-Dress/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/9/5/9501.jpg" border="0" width="377" height="480" style="margin: 5px 3px; float: left; border: 0pt none;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9442.jpg" border="0" width="320" style="float: left; margin: 5px 3px;" />Women have been wearing dresses for centuries. While the style has greatly changed over the years, dresses are definitely here to stay. They're feminine and sensual, and allow women to get creative with their wardrobes while feeling absolutely beautiful. Next time you're putting on that cocktail dress, think about some of the history behind it. You may be surprised to hear that dresses were originally worn by men (think kilts and togas). I think it's safe to say that the dresses women wear today are much different than the historical skirts men used to wear. <br /><br />Although dresses have changed so much over the last few centuries, we often see old trends making their way back onto the runway. For example high-low dresses like the beautiful <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9501" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM 9501</a> were popular many years ago. They are once again they the hottest fashion trend in dresses. Old fashion trends seem to always make their way back into our closets. <br /><br />Though some things remain the same, many styles, materials and lengths have changed. Dresses used to only be available in floor length. Ladies were not allowed to show off their leg as it simply wasn't proper. Somewhere around the 1920's, dresses started to rise to about knee length. This is around the same time when women started fighting for their rights. Back then, families were living off of a single income as most women were home makers. This meant that money was tight, and clothes had to be repurposed. It was common for women to take their old curtains and turn them into a dress they had sewn themselves. This also meant that if clothing was damaged, it had to be repaired instead of replaced. Constantly having to repair dresses while using the same amount of material may have also contributed to the rising hemlines. <br /><br />As dresses and skirts became shorter, they also became tighter fitting and more revealing. Women's clothing took a turn for the better, with fashion that highlighted the beautiful features of a woman's body rather than trying to hide it. The 1960's brought us the short miniskirts that would pave the way for mini dresses like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9442" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM 9442</a>. <br /><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some may make a connection between women's rights and women's fashion. While women were trying to make a name for themselves, they also felt empowered by wearing what they wanted to instead of what they were expected to. <br /><br />While short dresses remained stylish in the 90's, longer dresses that typically touched your ankle came back into the spotlight for everyday wear. Mini dresses were reserved for the clubs. <br /><br />Fast forward to today - we have a ton of styles and lengths available to us. From floor length dresses, to ball gowns and mini dresses, we can choose whatever style we like best. Runway fashion is now available to any woman for any occasion. Take a look at the different styles and designers Prom Outfitters has to offer. Our dresses have taken the best aspects of past fashion, and provided beautiful on-trend designs for today's modern woman.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Find a Modest Prom Gown]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/How-to-Find-a-Modest-Prom-Gown/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/6/0/6022_1.jpg" border="0" width="295" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px;" />A prom dress doesn't have to let it all hang out. Yes, many of the prom dresses worn today show a lot of skin but yours doesn't have to. Don't let fear of needing to wear something skimpy stop you from attending your prom. Your dress should represent who you are and show off your style. You can find a modest prom dress that will keep you looking like the lady that you are. <br /><br /><strong>Dresses that Keep you Covered</strong><br /><br />Choose a prom dress that emphasizes your assets but doesn't show a lot of skin if you want a modest look for prom. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/nika-8010" target="_blank">Nika 8010</a> features a high neckline that covers you up on top and flows all the way to the ground. The back is open but not plunging down to, well, you know where. This stunning dress features a flowered design in either black or red. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/nika-8120" target="_blank">Nika 8120</a> offers you the same style in an above the knee length dress that fits nicely and shows off your legs but not too much. Pair either of these styles with black strappy pumps or sandals if you don't want an extremely blingy shoe.<br /><br /><strong>Off-the-Shoulder</strong><br /><br />If you want a trendy prom dress but still want to be properly covered, <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/nika-6055" target="_blank">Nika 6055</a> is an excellent choice. With long, flowing layers that reach the floor, this dress provides necessary coverage in a demure design. Though strapless, the bodice features an over-the-shoulder embellishment that provides coverage as well as a beautiful shoulder piece that will bring the eye up to your face. These elegant styles are available in blush, pink or white. Your back is partially covered as well. <br /><br /><strong>New Arrivals</strong><br /><br />New to the scene <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/janique-2837" target="_blank">Janique 2837</a> will provide you with necessary coverage the way you want it. The rounded neck shows off your collar bone and the embellishments on both wrists will make accessorizing unnecessary. The dress features a thigh-length slit so if you decide you want to show some leg, you can. But not too much as it isn't slit all the way up to your crotch. Choose this elegant design in either black or red and you'll only need to pair it with the perfect shoe and earrings. Because the sleeves are long, you may not even need a cover up for chilly nights.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /><strong>Mermaid Gown</strong><br /><br />A mermaid style prom gown such as the<a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-paris-6022" target="_blank"> Alyce Paris 6022</a> provides a unique blend of coverage for ladies who may want to show a little skin but in a demure way. This gown comes to the floor but is sheer from about mid-thigh. So you get coverage but your skin still peeps through. A shoulder strap breaks up the amount of skin that shows on top and the back is nicely open but doesn't plunge all the way down. It stops about mid-back so you can show off your lovely assets but still maintain some decorum. The dress is red and covered in sequins so you get a great balance of embellishments, cut-out pieces and coverage all in one dress. And you still have the trendy mermaid style as the length of the gown drapes beautifully on the ground.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Finding the Perfect Dress for your Body Type]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Finding-the-Perfect-Dress-for-your-Body-Type/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9613_1.jpg" border="0" width="622" height="792" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/n/i/nightmoves6499_03_3.jpg" border="0" width="600" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you start looking for your perfect prom dress, it's important to not only keep in mind what style you're going for, but also what body shape you have. While one gown may look perfect on your friend, it might not be the right dress for your body type. Picking the right dress for your body will ensure you're comfortable in your prom dress and ready to dance the night away. After finding out which of the 5 body types you have, take a look at the prom dresses we recommend specifically for you. <br /><br />The first body type is the curvy hourglass figure most women dream of having. Like the name sounds, hourglass figures have hips and shoulders that are proportional. If you have an hourglass figure, consider yourself lucky! You look great in anything! Try a ball gown with a corset like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9613" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM 9613</a>. This dress will highlight your gorgeous waistline and give you a flattering busy. <br /><br />The second body type is the apple shape, which consists of a full bust and broad shoulders. The apple has slim hips and a heavier upper body. A V-neck or sweetheart gown will give you a flattering bust, as opposed to a halter style gown, which may draw too much attention to your top. Empire style gowns fit the apple shape nicely as they draw attention to your waist. Take a look at the gorgeous <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-5208" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM 5208</a> gown, which will beautifully balance your top and bottom halves. <br /><br />Next we have the round body type, which has most of the weight around the midsection. A round woman's shoulders are smaller with narrow hips. An empire style dress will raise your waistline, drawing attention away from your mid section. Another great option is an A-line dress like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9545" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM 9545</a>. This dress has a sweetheart neckline, which can make you look slimmer by drawing attention to the neck. Of course an apple can always go with a gown that has a corset if they'd like a bit more support. <br /><br />Opposite of the apple shape, we have the pear shape. The pear will be slim on top and heavier on the bottom. Pears have small shoulders, drawing most of the attention to their hips and thighs. A ball gown prom dress works well for a pear because it will draw most of the attention to the top of their body. Strapless dresses will have the same effect. <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/night-moves-6499" target="_blank">The NIGHT MOVES 6499</a> prom dress is a great choice as it hides fuller hips and brings the focus to the top of the dress. Adding sequence or detailing to the top of the dress works well too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9318_7.jpg" border="0" width="295" height="382" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/9/5/9545.jpg" border="0" width="295" height="382" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9613_02.jpg" border="0" width="295" height="382" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/5/2/5208_1.jpg" border="0" width="295" height="382" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 2px 3px;" /><br />Finally, there is the rectangle body type, which has little to no curves. The rectangle has a slim build and often a smaller chest. A mermaid style dress would give the rectangle the appearance of having fuller hips than what they actually have. This dress would draw attention to the waistline, giving you that beautiful silhouette figure you've always dreamed of. Check out the gorgeous mermaid dress <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-9318" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM 9318</a>. This style of dress gives the illusion that you have bigger curves. <br /><br />No matter what body shape you are, Prom Outfitters has the dress for you. Take a look at the large selection of gowns we have to find the perfect dress for your body type.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9369_7.jpg" border="0" width="420" style="margin: 2px 3px; vertical-align: top; border: 0pt none;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/l/a/lafemme17514_03_3.jpg" border="0" width="420" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9369_02_3.jpg" border="0" width="420" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are so many decisions to make as prom approaches. What dress will you choose? We've got you covered. We have so many gorgeous dresses to choose from you'll have no problem finding the right one for you. Once you've found that perfect prom dress, it's time to choose the accessories that will add the finishing touches. We've got some tips to help you pick the perfect accessories to go with your prom dress. <br /><br />Picking the right pair of shoes to go with your dress can be stressful. You want something comfortable that you'll be able to dance all night in, but also something that looks great with that gorgeous dress. If you decide to go with a short prom dress, pair it will stiletto heels or perhaps a pair of sandals. How gorgeous would the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-9369" target="_self">BLUSH 9369</a> prom dress look with a pair of silver high heels? You'll want something with height to show off those long legs of yours. If you're wearing a ball gown, wear something with a cute toe. Height isn't as important here, as long as your dress is altered properly. <br /><br />Next, you'll want to choose jewelry that compliments your prom dress without overpowering it. If your dress has a lot of detailing, you may want to choose simple pieces so that the attention remains on the dress. However, if your dress is a solid simple color, add beautiful sparkly pieces of jewelry to jazz your dress up. When wearing a low cut dress, like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/la-femme-17514" target="_self">LA FEMME 17514</a>, choose a necklace that isn't too short and isn't too long. It should fill the space of your neck and chest perfectly. Matching your jewelry with the dress you've chosen completes your prom look. <br /><br />What will you carry your wallet and lip gloss in? Have you considered bringing a clutch? There are a ton of options out there when it comes to clutches and purses, but you'll want to choose something simple yet big enough to hold your things. Whatever you go with, make sure it is elegant and formal to go with the beauty of your gown. <br /><br />You should also start to think about how you'll wear your hair with your prom dress. If you've chosen a short prom dress, you may want to wear your hair down, drawing attention downwards towards the dress. If you've chosen a long or detailed dress, perhaps go with the classic up-do. Once you've got your dress picked and your hair picked, you may want to do a trial run just to be sure they compliment each other. You may have a vision of your outfit in your head, but until it's all pulled together it's difficult to see what it will really look like. <br /><br />Finally, what shades of makeup will you go with? Again, you want to look glamorous without taking the attention away from the dress. Before prom night, try out a few different color combinations to see what works best on you. <br /><br />You've spent so much time and effort finding the prom dress of your dreams. Make sure you put as much effort into finding the right accessories so you look and feel your absolute best on prom night.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Wear the Latest Prom Gown Trends]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/how-to-wear-the-latest-prom-gown-trends/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/l/a/lafemme17334_7.jpg" border="0" width="375" height="563" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px;" />Several unique trends hit the runway during Fashion Week this year. Some of our favorites include off the shoulder gowns and high-low layers. While these trends are beautiful and make you want to rush right out and pick up one for your prom, you need to know how to wear the latest prom trends so you can wear your dress with confidence and look amazing. <br /><br /><strong>High-Low Layers</strong><br /><br />You can rock this latest fashion by keeping a few tips in mind. First, do not cover up a high-low dress. These are made to be shown off. If you know the weather is going to be chilly, bring along a low-key wrap or an open jacket to ward off the cold. Keep your jewelry simple as well. High-low dresses such the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/la-femme-17334" target="_self">La Femme 17334</a> sparkle in their own right and do not need a lot of jewelry to compete. If you want to wear a statement piece with a dress like this, choose chandelier earrings instead of a big bracelet or necklace that can be worn too close to the dress. The earrings will be a good balance to the dress itself. <br /><br />A dress like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/tony-bowls-113742" target="_self">Tony Bowls 113742</a> is a statement piece on its own. You will only need a tiny clutch bag and slim earrings in order to dress up this masterpiece. With the tulle ruffled skirt and embellished bodice, the dress is more artwork than fashion piece. To balance the embellishment at the top, you can get away with rhinestone, peep toe pumps or sandals to compliment the beauty of the dress. <br /><br /><strong>Off the Shoulder Gowns</strong><br /><br />Wear a stunning off-the shoulder gown like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/nika-6055" target="_self">Nika 6055</a>. You won't need a lot in the way of accessories as this gorgeous gown features a stunning shoulder embellishment. To offset this unique feature, consider wearing your hair in an up-do. Or part it on the side of the shoulder embellishment and wear your hair down on the other side. The point is to balance an off-the-shoulder gown. Necklaces won't stand out so consider wearing a big cocktail ring or a glitzy bracelet with an off-the-shoulder gown. <br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-1456" target="_self">Sherri Hill 1456</a> features a glitzy one shoulder strap complete with crystal rhinestones. This unusual embellishment flows down along the bodice of the dress. Think about wearing jewelry in a complimentary color such as gold hoops to offset the design of the dress. <br /><br /><strong>Sequins</strong><br /><br />Sequined dresses were a big hit at Fashion week. It's easy to look overdone in these glittery gowns so be careful with accessories. Stick with a neutral color shoe in black or if your dress is black with sequins, go with a metallic shoe. Ankle high booties are also a great choice with sequined dresses especially if they are in a lacy pattern. Your shoes and dress do not need to match (and actually it is better if they don't) so stay away from any type of sequins on your shoe. Your best bet is to choose a neutral color and style.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Accessorize your Prom Gown]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/how-to-accessorize-your-prom-gown/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>You've found the perfect prom date, the tickets are purchased and dinner reservations made. The big night is right around the corner and you want to make sure everything is perfect. Choosing the perfect accessories to compliment your dress can stress you out but it doesn't have to. Here are some ideas for accessorizing your prom gown so you'll be the belle of the ball. <br /><br /><strong>Consider the Dress</strong><br /><br />Before you run out and buy any accessories for your dress, take a look at the design. If you are wearing a stunning Holt Miami design, the details are already in the dress. These unique styles feature embellishments and show off your assets so you don't want your accessories to compete. <br /><br />If you are wearing <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/holt-miami">Holt Miami</a>, choose simple accessories. Think about shoes in neutral colors without a lot of rhinestones, studs or other embellishments. These will compete with the dress and you want your investment to be the center of attention. You could probably get away with wearing an embellished shoe if you choose a short dress like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/holt-miami-stacy">Holt Miami Stacy </a>or Paris. With longer dresses like Keira or Empire, choose a simple shoe.</p>
<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/t/stacy_1.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="586" style="margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/2/2/2240_1.jpg" border="0" width="390" style="margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p><strong>Jewelry</strong><br /><br />The same rules apply for jewelry, if your dress features embellishments or a fabulous design, wearing too much in the way of jewelry can make you look overdone. If you have purchased a dress such as the Holt Miami Meghan, you can pair it with some fancy chandelier earrings but don't wear huge earrings AND a necklace AND a bracelet. Keep your jewelry simple and choose one fabulous piece to accessorize your look. <br /><br />Solid colors like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-paris-2240">Alyce Paris 2240</a> go extremely well with a bigger necklace. So if you have a statement piece you are dying to wear at prom, pair it with a gorgeous strapless dress in a solid color. <br /><br /><strong>Wraps and Bags</strong><br /><br />If you know the night is going to be cool or the AC might be on full blast at your event, bring along a neutral wrap especially if your dress is strapless or sleeveless. Again, if the dress is embellished at all, keep the wrap to a solid, neutral color. You don't want anything to compete with your beautiful prom gown. <br /><br />Carry a small bag with only the essentials, please. Leave big bulky handbags at home and accessorize with a tiny clutch or a small purse with a thin shoulder strap or chain. <br /><br /><strong>Shoes</strong><br /><br />When choosing shoes for the prom, you want them to be stunning and sexy but be careful. Nothing is worse than being on your feet in a pair of shoes that are uncomfortable. Do not accessorize with shoes that are way too high unless you are used to wearing stilettos all the time. You want shoes that compliment your dress but not ones that will end up being stuck under the table all night. Choose shoes in a color that compliments your dress and other accessories but not ones that compete with what you are wearing. Less is more when it comes to accessories.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[To Match or Not to Match? Should your Dress Match your Shoes]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/should-your-dress-match-your-shoes/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9632_03.jpg" border="0" width="390" style="border: 0pt none; float: left; margin: 5px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember the old rule that said you must match your dress and shoe color? That style is something that many people today still hold onto, but they should dismiss it quickly and move into the 21st Century. Today's trendsetters know that to be too matchy-matchy is the kiss of death to an ensemble and they will not dare step back into time. <br /><br />While there are still some times when dresses and shoes are expected to match perfectly, mostly at weddings, your selections should stand out and separate, but fabulous. Regardless of the color of your dress, there are still many ways to make it work without paring the same colors together, which basically mutes your outfit and causes everything to run together. <br /><br />Consider the color wheel when pairing your shoes and dresses and contemplate a few things. Many colors are complementary, which means the more opposite they are the bolder the contrast will be when you pair them with each other. While many colors within the same family, like Royal Blue, Powder Blue and Turquoise will provide more of a synchronized and corresponding look. <br /><br />You can even locate a color in your dress that has matching tones or values, like warm neutrals or cool neutrals and match your shoes that way. The idea is to not be boring or expected. Push the envelope and see how your choices really make a statement and express your own personal fashion aesthetic. <br /><br />Matching your shoes and dresses so that each item is in total agreement is not that hard, if you spend a few minutes going over your wardrobe, you will find that you probably already have at least a dozen different looks that you didn't realize were possible. <br /><br />Black shoes match just about everything, with the exception of the traditional pastel colors. However, if you have something else highlighted, along with the pastel arrangement, your dress will actually appear much more vibrant and alive. <br /><br />Brown shoes look best with orange, taupe, green and all kinds of earth tone colored dresses. They are exceptional during the fall months when paired with tights underneath sweater or woven dresses in burnt orange and hunter green. <br /><br />Many people tend to overlook the color grey when it comes to pairing shoes and dresses together, but grey is actually quite fetching with blue, black, purple, red and even yellow. <br /><br />During the spring and summer months, white and pink shoes take center stage when paired with long or short flowing dresses in pastels, melon, celery and tangerine, like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9632">BLUSH PROM 9632</a>. <br /><br />You should also pay close attention to the type of dress you wear when pairing your shoes, since the length and style are just as important. You can choose wedges, thong or strappy sandals as well as flat sandals during the warm weather months if you are wearing a longer dress. Platforms look great with fitted summer dresses, which give you extra height and added sex appeal. Tall boots, high heeled-pumps and dress boots look better with long winter dresses like <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/janique-2837">JANIQUE 2837</a>. This is especially true with dresses in colors like Cinnamon, Emerald, Pomegranate and Slate Grey. <br /><br />Prom Outfitters offers a selection of formal footwear, so that you can order your dress and shoes at the same time for a complete look.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Tips for Choosing the Perfect Dress for the Right Occasion]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Tips-for-Choosing-the-Perfect-Dress-for-the-Right-Occasion/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/e/meghan-2_1.jpg" border="0" width="240" style="float: left; margin: 2px 3px;" />How many times have you attended an affair and felt overdressed or underdressed? Unfortunately, many women just don't know what kind of dress should be worn for specific occasions and often times make the mistake of dressing up or down as a result. <br /><br />Luckily, choosing the perfect type of dress for a wedding, funeral, graduation or a simple business dinner does not have to be all that hard. You just a few key points to get you moving in the right direction. <br /><br />When looking for a dress, you should ask yourself two very important questions: Is this timeless and is it versatile? If you can answer, yes to both questions, you are on the right path. <br /><br />Think about the situation and the atmosphere of the event. Will you be outdoors or indoors? What is the season? Who will be attending? This is when most women start feeling overwhelmed. The panic sets in and before long a poor decision has been made. <br /><br />In order to make things simple, just think about things this way. There are only so many types of dresses: Sexy, conservative, casual, formal, stylish or chic. Since the options are limited, you should be able to narrow down your selection. In addition, most formal events specify. You know well in advance if you must wear an evening gown, so that takes a lot of pressure away. <br /><br />If you are going out for dinner, you can opt for stylish, sexy or chic like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=HOLT+MIAMI+MEITAL" target="_blank">HOLT MIAMI MEITAL</a>. The same applies to a family outing or dinner with your co-workers. This type of situation would call for something stylish, yet conservative. <br /><br />One of the best types of dresses is still the Little Black Dress, because you can accessorize beautifully and it is great for literally, any occasion. It is always a good idea to have a couple in your closet, one for the warmer months and one for the cooler months. Choose strapless or long sleeved, it's entirely up to you. You can always cover yourself with a shawl or cardigan if need be. <br /><br />The final piece to the puzzle for most women when choosing the right dress for the right occasion addresses the neckline. After all, a low-cut dress that displays too much cleavage can give off the wrong impression every time. However, one that is too high can also send signals that you are much too old-fashioned and if you are attending an office function, that can be just as detrimental. To be safe, it is always best to shop for a dress with a scoop, boat or square neckline. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=The+BLUSH+PROM+C096" target="_blank">BLUSH PROM C096</a> is a perfect example of a beautiful, yet tasteful neckline. <br /><br />Hopefully, you have a better understanding on the various types of dresses you can purchase for any occasion and that overwhelming feeling has passed. While there are still dozens of dresses you will encounter, you can face the situation head on. Remember, shopping for the perfect dress should be fun and leave you with a feeling of exhilaration and excitement, not uncertainty or dread.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[How Do You Know if Your Dress is the Right Length]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/How-Do-You-Know-if-Your-Dress-is-the-Right-Length/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/2/2/2228_02.jpg" border="0" width="324" height="485" style="float: left; margin: 3px;" />Finding the type of dress that will accentuate your curves or highlight your legs isn't really that difficult. There are plenty of designers who cater to virtually every woman, from the very petite to the voluptuous plus size. The only real challenge seems to be where to draw the line at the length. <br /><br />One thing you should always keep in mind is fashion trends come and go; you do not live your life on the runways of Paris, Milan and New York. The average woman needs to have a more realistic view when it comes to purchasing a dress. Consider not only the style and color, but also the occasion. If you wear dresses to the office, they should be at an acceptable and appropriate length. You don't want to run the risk of landing in your boss' office because you selected a dress that shows too much skin. On the contrary, if most of your dresses are for dining and dancing, you can be much more laid back with your selections. For example, the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=ALYCE+PARIS+4248" target="_blank">ALYCE PARIS 4248</a> is the perfect dress for a night out on the town, whereas the SHERRI HILL 1522 might be great for a business event. <br /><br />Even if the fabric is made of the purest silk or the finest wool, if it is too short or too long, it just won't matter. To be sure that you will always make the right choice, here are a few tips that will guarantee that no matter what kind of dress you pick, you will always look your absolute best. <br /><br />While looking in a full-length mirror, place your hands at your sides and let them fall naturally; notice where the fingertips land and feel around the sides of your legs. This is your comfort zone. From here, you can determine how much shorter you want your dress to be. Slip on a pair of standard size heels, about 2 to 2 &frac12; inches. Be cautious with any heel size 3 inches or more. A good rule of thumb is if you increase your heel size, you should lower your hemline by the same proportions. This means, if you own or are thinking of purchasing a short dress, but want to wear 3 inch heels, you should lower your hemline 1 inch below your comfort zone. <br /><br />Dresses that fall beneath the knee are considered long and require just as much attention, especially on small, petite framed women. It doesn't matter if the dress flows or is fitted, you must recognize proportions with regards to length. Use the same guidelines for shorter dresses and measure the length between the back of the knee and the calf. You don't want your dress to drown you because of the longer length. <br /><br />Remember, dresses can and should be tailored to your specific body type and of course, your height. If necessary, bring your garment to a professional and let them make the alterations based on your specifications. This is an important step and once you see how a few simple changes in length can positively affect your appearance, you just might start wearing more dresses and embrace your female form even more. <br /><br />Prom Outfitters offers a variety of dresses in all lengths to ensure you find the dress that fits you perfectly.</p>

You've chosen a date, booked your limo and now you need to find that perfect dress you've always wanted! Shopping for a prom dress can be stressful, but we've listed some tips to make sure your shopping experience is as fun as it's supposed to be! <br /><br />First of all - Is there a theme for your prom? For example, if your prom has a Las Vegas theme you might choose a specific kind of dress. Or if your prom is more tradition, you may go with a ball gown like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=MORI+LEE+87082" target="_blank">MORI LEE 87082</a>. Have you and your date decided on certain colors you'd like to go with? Be sure to choose a dress that matches your own style and personality. <br /><br />Next, make sure the prom dress you've chosen is flattering to your body type. Each body shape has a dress type that looks the best, so be sure to try a ton of different styles on to find the one that works best for you. For example, if you're shorter, you may want to avoid tea-length dresses all together. They can draw attention to your lack of height, and make you look even shorter than you are. If you have a fuller figure, something with a corset is very appealing. If you're on the slim side with small hips, you might go with a mermaid style to give you a beautiful hourglass silhouette. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=ALYCE+PARIS+2057" target="_blank">ALYCE PARIS 2057</a> is the perfect example of a mermaid style dress that will give you a dreamlike figure. Whatever style you choose, make sure it is the right size and altered to fit your specifications. You'll want to be comfortable in your dress so you can dance the night away with your friends. <br /><br />Work within your budget. There are a ton of prom dresses to choose from in every price range. Prom dresses can be expensive, but you can start saving for the perfect dress long before the big day to ensure you can buy the dress of your dreams. Look for sales - they do exist. If the prom dress of your dreams has a lot of detailing, it may come with a bigger price tag. But remember, you will only have one prom and you'll probably be able to sell your dress afterwards to re-coup some of the costs! <br /><br />Don't wait until the last minute. Start looking for that perfect dress early in the year. Some dresses will need to be ordered into the store, which takes time. You may also need to have the dress altered to fit properly. Prom season can become very busy for dress stores as they all take place around the same time. If ordering online, allow time for shipping. Some places may sell out of their most popular dresses early. Don't get stuck with whatever is left in the store. <br /><br />The most important thing to remember when looking for a prom dress is to have fun! Seriously, prom is one of the most exciting events of your life - you should enjoy it! Choosing the right dress means you'll have wonderful and beautiful memories of prom that will last you a lifetime. Prom Outfitters make it easy to find the dress you've envisioned. Simply select the designer or style from the navigation, and we'll give you pages upon pages of beautiful dresses that match your wants.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal6208B_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9318_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The fashion shows are split into two types of dresses, and this year was no different as more than one unwearable outfit was displayed on the runway. <br /><br /><strong>THE OUTRAGEOUS SIDE OF FASHION</strong><br /><br />There was the paranormal and horrific sense of humor from Adrian Alicea - at least this designer embraces some real women with real sizes! Jeremy Scott is heavy into long, luxurious faux furs - one yellow hoodie with long sleeves and thigh boots looks like a sexy wookie with the upper thighs peeking out, and another creation involved a super sheer see through with strategic checker underwear and another set of furry thigh boots, this time in black. <br /><br />This outfit does have a certain appeal, now that a second look has gone out - but it won't be at PromOutfitters.com, at least not this year! <br /><br />Thom Brown came with angular lines of white gauze and red roses - in fact, angular was a theme for him this year in the square plaid hanger rack shirt - the most unwearable design of the lot. But once again, some fashion isn't to be worn - it worms its way into the psyche of the industry in more subtle ways. <br /><br /><strong>STREET STYLE STAKES IT PLACE!</strong><br /><br />Some of the designs are a not so subtle nod the new style sweeping the fashion world, Street Style. Rodarte puts it together with a concentric circled tie die, black pants and a jacket set off by silver sneaks; Betsey Johnson goes street with a vengeance in a pink workout outfit with a black tutu and black edging along the low cut square neckline of the pink shirt. <br /><br />She has also put out a bright yellow workout look too - street style with a nasty, sizzling twist; this one is wearable, just not at the prom! <br /><br /><strong>THE ONES THAT WILL SEE THE WORLD </strong><br /><br />Marc Jacobs showed off glittery shorts and a tight knit sweater, reminiscent of the romper look of the Alyce 2147 or the Alyce 2119. <br /><br />The Alyce 2147 features black sparkle shorts set off with a wide red belt and a translucent long sleeved shirt with strategically placed crawling vines and leaves across the bosom, the neck and climbing down the sleeves. <br /><br />The Alyce 2119 is a strapless sweetheart neckline romper in sequins; a faux brilliantly dyed floor length overskirt also makes this a versatile outfit - add the overskirt for more formal occasions, take it off for a fancy bar-b-que! <br /><br />Calvin Kline had some nice, low key pieces that will see wear on the street - the black miniskirt with black hose and sweater ensemble with a nice beret was one of the cutest looks on the walkway, thanks to Ralph Lauren! <br /><br />Marchesa had a nice evening - classic, strapless with opposing diagonal folds meeting at the hip, with red vines crawling along the left side. This is reminiscent of the Jasz Couture 4895, a floor length, sweetheart neck strapless gown that exposes the left flank in a jeweled cutout - once again, we see the opposing diagonal ruching which gives both of these gowns a classy look. <br /><br />The Jasz Couture piece clings more tightly to the body, and will make a great prom dress! <br /><br />Log on to <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">PromOutfitters.com</a> now, and see what our great collection of designers have up for this prom season!!</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Designer Spotlight - Jasz Couture And Riva Designs Bring The Quality To Promoutfitters.Com]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Designer-Spotlight-Jasz-Couture-And-Riva-Designs-Bring-The-Quality/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz-2013s-4809-midnight_a.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="549" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px; float: left;" />JASZ COUTURE - FUSION MINIS ARE ALL ABOUT FUN!</strong><br /><br />Jasz Couture has been designing gorgeous, accessible prom dresses, fashion dresses, cocktail and pageant and evening dresses and more for over 2 decades. Jasz Couture has been featured in magazines like Teen Prom and Seventeen; this company knows how important Senior and even Junior proms can be for a young lady. <br /><br />Start shopping for your dress early, and don't wait to be asked before you get into dress mode - guys have no sense of time, and are liable to wait until two weeks before the prom to remember to ask. <br /><br />Jazz Couture has the look, quality of design and excellent manufacturing ethos that PromOutfitters.com loves, and these dresses typify the best that 2013 Prom styles have to offer <br /><br />A stunning classic is the Jasz Couture 4574, a strapless, body hugging gown with a generous front slit in the skirt, figured stitching and a feathered train, this is a classic dress that will be at home at any prom! <br /><br />A fantastic fusion mini with a gauzy, layered train with flower's randomly attached, and accenting the short dress around the skirt. The sweetheart neckline bustier is set off by jeweled accents make this dress a unique choice - and one that will not disappoint the young lady with lots of confidence. <br /><br /><strong>RIVA DESIGNS CLASHES BEAUTIFUL STYLES, AND BRINGS NEW LIFE TO THE BABYDOLL DRESS!</strong><br /><br />Another great designer who has a lot of new designs this year is Riva Designs, a US based designer who calls Duluth GA their home. They have many striking designs and have come into their own on the babydoll and minidress categories. For a colorful, casual time the Riva 6537 is a great choice, with a jeweled bustier, horizontally ruched waist accents set off with a jeweled buckle, giving it the look of a faux belt. The layered, gauzy, multi-colored skirt hides a leopard print with peaks out playfully from time to time. <br /><br />A super fun take on a classical mini mix is the Riva R9456, a mini with an asymmetrical tail, angled ruching around the midriff which reveals a jeweled bustier. <br /><br />This strapless gown combines the miniskirt and the strapless down in a bold and classy look that is as striking as it is extremely sexy. The first thing this dress says is that this will not be a ho hum night! A perfect choice for the senior prom! <br /><br />A great take on a mini with a flare from the Flapper Girl days, the Riva L803 is a sparkling, strapless mini with a feathered band which defines the skirt. The feather band sets off the dress perfectly, giving the upper portion the look of a bodice. <br /><br /><strong>The dress also features translucent panels going around the flanks to the back.</strong><br /><br />This dress is beauty personified - fun, flirty, and with the feathered skirt more formal and classier than the standard mini. <br /><br /><strong>FIND YOUR BEST DESIGNER</strong><br /><br />You can get them all at <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">PromOutfitters.com</a>, the number 1 online dress seller, with an inventory of over 20,000 dresses.

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/9/3/9315-4.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px; float: left;" />Prom Dress Choices - Choose The Dress That Makes You Feel Great!</strong><br /><br />There really is no fast and hard set of rules for fashion and prom dresses anymore. Some proms by their design and location are much more formal than others, but even in these unconventional dresses can still fit in. <br /><br /><strong>FANCY GOWN, BLACK TIE</strong><br /><br />Gowns like the Alyce 2057 are always great for a black tie - this shoulderless gown with a sweetheart neckline and figured motifs on the bodice put us in mind of a peacock. The dress hugs the figure past the hips, giving it a bit of a mermaid feel, and then the skirt flares out in gauzy layers that top the whole outfit. <br /><br />It is a gorgeous dress, and combines classical styling with a modern feel, but you would never mistake this dress for anything even semi casual. <br /><br />While men are more locked in - they get a very small choice in tuxedos - young ladies have quite a bit of leeway. With the right shoes and accessories, the Allure A408 will fit the bill! <br /><br /><strong>HAVE A LITTLE FUN IN YOUR PROM CHOICE!</strong><br /><br />It is an empire waisted, sweetheart neckline with a sparkled bodice and a fun, full gauzy layered skirt that will move with you and be ready to go all night long. <br /><br />And the best thing about this dress is that it will fit right in with many different situations - formal prom or more laid back outdoor spring soir&eacute;e, this dress is a chameleon and is sure to be a favorite for the year's parties! It's hard to go wrong with a good baby doll dress, and this one is no exception! <br /><br /><strong>2013 IS FILLED WITH GREAT CHOICES!</strong><br /><br />So when you start looking for this year's party dress, don't lock yourself into one style - and if you can only afford one or two dresses this year, pick one that you can wear to other parties and bashes throughout the year! <br /><br />Another dress that is a chameleon in this way is the Blush C110. This scoop neck mini features hand beaded Sateen set out with stones and mini crystals, and will be equally at home at the prom or out on the town at a dance club or martini bar. Blush does not disappoint, and with this dress it's easy to see why! <br /><br />For a daring, old world Spanish Contessa look the Jasz Couture 4809 has a sweetheart neckline on a strapless bodice, and features a nude midriff with leaf and vine figures which also band the breasts and hips. <br /><br />The skirt flares out in ruffles, and is asymmetrical for easy dancing access, spilling down the back in gauzy, layered ruffles. <br /><br />This is another dress that demands formal - no casual parties where this one slips in under the line. Your date had better be wearing a black tie if he takes you anywhere dressed in this fantastic gown. <br /><br />Check out these and others at <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">PromOutfitters.com</a> - over 20,000 dresses in stock, we are dedicated to selling the dresses you want at the best price, with the best customer service in the industry.

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Online-Shopping-Tips-Everyone-Should-Know-How-To-Look-For-The-Right-Online-Seller/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill8401_7.jpg" border="0" width="790" height="527" style="vertical-align: top; margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; border: 0px none;" />GOING ONLINE</strong><br /><br />Online shopping is a great way to get a great dress - after all, that's the business we are in! <br /><br />When buying a dress online, three are things you can do to make sure that you will not be disappointed. <br /><br /><strong>BE PREPARED FOR ALTERATIONS</strong><br /><br />First, even though it may not be necessary, be absolutely prepared for the fact that the dress may need a bit of work to make it fit perfectly. This is true of fine dress for both males and females. Just like a tuxedo, a dress, to fit perfectly, must often have slight adjustments made. <br /><br />After all, none of us are exactly the same - even two people that look alike will wear a dress slightly differently. <br /><br />True, some dresses are much more carefree - the Dave &amp; Johnny 8851 is a prime example of a dress that more often than not will not need any alterations. This hybrid strap gown still leaves the shoulders enticingly bare, with horizontal pleats on the bustier culminating in a jeweled feature where the straps meet in the center of the chest, right where the sweetheart neckline reaches its lowest center point. <br /><br />The skirt falls in soft, straight and angled pleats that allow the skirt to swirl and form to the leg and curve of waist and hips. <br /><br />The Jasz Couture 4826, on the other hand, is a very demanding gown. To wear this dress correctly it will need to form to you, and may need a bit of taking in and letting out before it forms properly to your form. The high slit feathered skirt has a short built in train, and is a stunning example of a modern take on a classic gown. <br /><br /><strong>CHECK THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE SELLER - ARE THEY AUTHORIZED BY THE DESIGNER?</strong><br /><br /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4530_7.jpg" border="0" width="190" height="281" style="margin: 3px 5px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4335_7.jpg" border="0" width="190" height="281" style="margin: 3px 5px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4525_7.jpg" border="0" width="190" height="281" style="margin: 3px 5px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4500_7.jpg" border="0" width="190" height="281" style="margin: 3px 5px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next, when you are looking at dresses online always go to the manufacturer and make sure that seller is a registered retailer for that designer. <br /><br />If they are not, they either got the dress second hand or through other means, or even worse the dress is a counterfeit. <br /><br />Counterfeit clothes do matter - they do not have the ethics of the designers, or the insistence of quality manufacturing techniques. <br /><br />After you make sure that the online store is an authorized dealer, carefully read the fine print. Each dress should come with a certificate of authenticity. <br /><br /><strong>READ THE FINE PRINT - MAKE SURE A RETURN IS AVAILABLE (BUT NOT FOR FINAL SALE ITEMS) </strong><br /><br />Read the return policy carefully. For items on clearance or final sale, there is generally no return available. Just like a brick and mortar store, when you buy these items they are bought. <br /><br />PromOutfitters.com offers a 7 day period to return a dress, with a 10% restocking fee and shipping fees (which are not much). A prepaid UPS label is supplied with each dress - sometimes dresses just aren't what you thought. <br /><br />The return policy should be easy to use, easy to activate and all the fees should be easy to understand. <br /><br />And finally, be realistic about your body type - buy a dress that will flatter your shape and you will be much happier - in fact, we just featured a blog about that! <br /><br />Shop with confidence at <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">PromOutfitters.com</a> - and read with confidence here. We want you to know how to look your best, and want to help you with it every step of the way!</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Dresses-Dresses-Dresses---Which-Came-First-The-Great-Dress-Or-The-Fancy-Party/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9305_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px; float: left;" />Dresses have captured the imagination of women and the eye of men ever since the first woman cut a hole in a piece of leather and put it over her head - voila, the first Serape of Shift was made! As we've noted before, archeologists have found evidence of ancient miniskirts as well. <br /><br /><strong>THE DRESS - SOME STYLES STILL LAST!</strong><br /><br />The roman toga on a woman still inspires some of the prom and ball gowns today, like the Mac Duggal 42732M. This one shoulder asymmetrical gown with a modest slit on the left leg is why Mac Duggal is a favorite of ours here at PromOutfitters.com - this dress is gorgeous, with angled ruching and a flower accented shoulder strap and faux belt - this motif also acts as a secondary layer revealed by the slit skirt, and the dress and bare back are directly reminiscent of the way a toga lays upon the body. <br /><br />And there are many design popular today inspired by the Latin and Spanish gown, with severe ruffles on the skirts - these dresses are made for the tango and the other steps in classical Spanish and Latino dance. The Jazz Couture 4564 is a perfect example of this type of dress - this one features a daringly bare back and midriff, with jeweled straps and a small halter bustier with a deep neckline. The ruffled, layered skirt is asymmetrical, leaving the front free for easy movement on the dance floor. <br /><br />This dress is reminiscent of times gone by, yet will delight at any black tie event. <br /><br /><strong>EUROPEAN AND OLD WORLD FLAVORS DOMINATE PROM STYLES - BEAUTIFULLY!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another gown reminiscent of old world styles, this time more European flavored is the sweetheart neckline, strapless bustier with jeweled accents and a sharply defined segue to an airy, layered tulle skirt. <br /><br />For a dress that screams sexy and is reminiscent of some of the gowns of the forties and fifties, but with updated, super sheer fabrics that are accented just enough to conceal with sparkles set in slightly thicker fabric at strategic spots on the gown. <br /><br />This dress bares the back, and will demand a good body in good shape, but if you can pull it off it is a classic look that brings the sexy back! <br /><br /><strong>NEW STYLE SENSIBILITIES BRING NEW OPTIONS!</strong><br /><br /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9374_7.jpg" border="0" width="192" height="285" style="margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blushC061_02_3.jpg" border="0" width="192" height="285" style="margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blushC063_03_3.jpg" border="0" width="192" height="285" style="margin: 2px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9315_7.jpg" border="0" width="192" height="285" style="margin: 2px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Jasz Couture design standard is second to none, and the range of their gowns reflects the range of dresses which have always been in style and always will be in style. Some things may come and go in the world of dresses - shoulders, necklines and colors. And the extra things that go on dresses, like sparkling gems or figured flowers. <br /><br />There is no question, though - some dresses are timeless, and Jasz Couture makes a lot of them, like the Jasz Couture 4549. This is a classic design with a softly pleated skirt falling from a beaded waste featuring rhinestones and cutouts. The pleated V bust has thin straps which match the waist, attaching at a single strap up the center of the back. This is a gorgeous dress that can see you through a lot of parties in style, and is an example of a dress that will always be a head turner. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">PromOutfitters.com</a> loves the dress - that's why we went into this business - and we want to help you look as good as possible for the most important days in your life.

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/p/r/prom-dress-jasz-couture-4614allcolors.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="560" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 3px; float: left;" />Things were so much easier back in the good old days. Pre sixties, Christian Dior was famous for his new designs which embraced and celebrated the female figure. This was in conflict with the trends that were current in that day, which were rather modest designs. <br /><br /><strong>THE OLD FASHION HIERARCHY</strong><br /><br />There were other names, to - Crist&oacute;bal Balenciaga; who was known for designing dresses for real women - and for shunning the spotlight, Pierre Balmain, who loved skirts flowing out of small waisted dresses. Christian Dior later adopted this look. In the sixties, Pierre Cardin arrived on the scene, and there were people experimenting with trouser suits for women, like French designer Andre Courreges. <br /><br />The thing was, fashion was locked down. Because of the time it took to design and manufacture a line, fashion designers and the design industry could wait and release new designs twice a year and stay ahead of the curve. <br /><br />Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Yves St. Laurent were giants of this fashion model at the beginning of the fragmenting of the industry in the seventies (and to some extent in the sixties) and still exist today. Where before you might have 7 or 8 truly powerful fashion icons (but really only 3 or so), in today's world there are so many fashion shows it seems as though they don't stop, and new designs are released throughout the year instead of just at the big shows in Paris or New York. <br /><br /><strong>AND THEN CAME THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES</strong><br /><br />And, since the seventies what has been thought of as fashion has changed as well. Styles have steadily become reoriented to the street level. A great example of the way individual looks have influenced mass fashion was the Britney Spears phenomena. Suddenly, cute sneakers and bare midriffs were everywhere, and then just as suddenly the 'cool' look was more reminiscent of a grunge look ala Avril Lavigne. <br /><br />And many people recognized her look as the grunge look from the early 1990's. Fashion really does come around again. <br /><br />Prom dresses and other dresses like this move much more slowly, but the trends in the market are reflected here to. However, the needs of everyday fashion and fancy dress fashion fit into two different categories. <br /><br />You may like to grunge it up during the week, or adopt your own fashion trends - street style, as they are calling it now, and the fashion industry is once again scrambling to improve something that was just thrown together. <br /><br /><strong>PROM DRESSES ADAPT SLOWER THAN NORMAL FASHION TRENDS - FORMAL IS STILL FORMAL (JUST NOT AS)! </strong><br /><br />Dresses for special occasions, though, fit into a special category - and is a great chance to wear something that normally would not be part of your fashion repertoire. That is why proms are so fun, and why you can see the different styles of prom dress available for 2013 and see old fashion styles that stretch back decades. <br /><br />A great example of a fashion trend that has sown up since the fifties is the strapless, tight bodice of the Faviana 6428 flowing smoothly to the long skirt, which has a generous slit and a chiffon flare. Modern, but reminiscent of the days of the silver screen. <br /><br />For a much more laid back and modern look, the Dave &amp; Johnny 8816 has a light colored jeweled halter bodice which laces in the back, leaving a tantalizing amount bare, and bares the midriff slightly ala Britney Spears. <br /><br />PromOutfitters.com has them all - prom 2013 is here.

      <title><![CDATA[Body Types And Dress Styles - A Primer In Choosing The Right Dress For You]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Body-Types-And-Dress-Styles-A-Primer-In-Choosing-The-Right-Dress/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9318_7.jpg" border="0" width="401" height="602" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 3px; float: left;" />The season is here for new dresses, and there are a few things to consider - especially for someone who may be buying their first really nice prom dress for their junior or senior prom. <br /><br />Style is a very individual thing, and there really is no right and wrong when it comes to style - more now than at any other time - and that is reflected in the great designs that PromOutfitters.com has made available! <br /><br />But, there are some broad rules about what type of body is best served by different dress styles. <br /><br /><strong>THE BODY TYPES</strong><br /><br />Some women just seem to possess perfect figures, but most women do not. However, almost all women fit into one of a few major body types. These are listed below: <br /><br /><strong>&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Straight body</strong><br /><br /><strong>&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Pear shape</strong><br /><br /><strong>&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Hourglass</strong><br /><br /><strong>&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Triangle or diamond</strong><br /><br /><strong>&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Inverted triangle </strong><br /><br /><strong>&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Oval body shape</strong><br /><br />For the oval or rounder shape, wide, full skirts and a top that tapers to the waist is the most slimming look - stay away from short skirts, though strapless gowns can be great! The same rules will also go for the triangle or diamond shape - enhance the upper body, accentuate the waist and use a full, flowing skirt to lean and lengthen your body! <br /><br /><strong>PICK THE RIGHT DRESS TO FLATTER YOUR BODY THE BEST</strong><br /><br />The Blush Prom 9348 is a gorgeous example of this type of dress, with a strapless beaded bustier featuring a sweetheart neckline and a faux black belt with a floral accent on it. The skirt is made of soft, long flowing layers of chiffon. This type of dress is also known as an A-line. <br /><br />Another great example for this body type is the Dave &amp; Johnny 7180. This thin strapped creation features a horizontally featured bustier with a sweetheart neckline, and directly beneath that the softly layered skirt begins. The works great for larger figures, accentuating the arms, shoulders and bust. <br /><br />For a straight body, a bustier can give a boost, and figured dresses that accentuate the area around the hips will give a curvier appearance. This is an easy body type to shop for - look for a faux belt to add dimension to the waist as well! <br /><br />The Blush Prom C094 is a great example of a dress that gives illusion - the way the patterns are cut, it suggest curves in the hips that may not quite be there. The bare shoulders will also add to this effect! <br /><br />For a pear shape, bustiers work great and tops with fitted waists that turn to a flared, ruffled or layered skirt help to accentuate the curve of the hips and the waist. <br /><br /><strong>THE LUCKY HOURGLASS GIRLS!</strong><br /><br />The hourglass shape may not be in on the runway but it is one of the easiest to dress - this is when the bust and the hips are about the same size, and is the body most dresses are designed to fit. Faux belts to accentuate the waist are great, and sweetheart necklines are always a hit with this body type! <br /><br />The inverted triangle would also fit into this category with some slight modifications. A dress that is great for both hourglass and inverted triangle shape is the Alyce 35415, a one shoulder gown that accentuates the waist and has a form fitting skirt with a back drape and a generous side slit. This dress demands a good body, but if you have it will look great! <br /><br />PromOutfitters.com has a huge selection of 2013 prom dresses on sale now from our favorite designers - come browse our website, and find the perfect dress for you!</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Designer-Spotlight-Faviana-Sets-The-Style-And-Makes-Great-Red-Carpet-Inspired-Gowns/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/f/a/faviana6935_02_3.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 5px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/f/a/faviana6938_03_3.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="584" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 5px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It's time for the new dresses, and one of our favorite designers has some great new models coming down the runway. Ashley Benson of Pretty Little Liars fame can afford any dress she wants, but Faviana fit the bill - in fact, she was so impressed she agreed to do a spread in a number of Faviana's favorite gowns, and become the Face of Faviana! <br /><br /><strong>THE CHIEF DESIGNER</strong><br /><br />Shala Moradi, the chief designer for this powerful designer loves fashion, and it shows in the hundreds of designs that Faviana has put out on the street via the red carpet. <br /><br />About seven years ago, they started interpreting looks that were being worn by the biggest stars on the red carpet so that people without thousands of dollar could share in the same designs without the exorbitant price tags. <br /><br />These gowns have been featured on many different TV shows, including the View, E! Entertainment News, Access Hollywood and others - and it is no wonder; the design team at Faviana are experts, and whether they are making a celebrity inspired gown or an original piece, they know the subtle skills of putting a dress together so that it doesn't just look good but so that it feels right and fits perfectly. <br /><br /><strong>FAVIANA MAKES GOWNS FOR REAL BODIES</strong><br /><br />The dressmaker also makes dresses for all sizes and body shapes, from size 0 to size 24W you know that you are getting a great dress, not only in design but in the care taken in the manufacture of the gown. Just like all the designers that PromOutfitters.com represents, the build quality of the Moradi family's Faviana line is outstanding. <br /><br />A great gown that is typical of the design ethos of Faviana is the Faviana 6711, a shimmering, body hugging gown with a skirt slightly flared at the needs, with a back semi-exposed through sheer, transparent fabric which continues to the shoulder straps. <br /><br />This is a dress for a special occasion, made to catch the light and the eye; it clings to the curve of the body, and shows off just enough with a deep V neckline. <br /><br /><strong>FAVIANA IS OUR KIND OF DESIGNER!</strong><br /><br />For something a little more casual, and which can see further use at many different occasions is the Faviana 6938, a bold patterned strapless gown with a sweetheart neck. The bodice is pleated at opposing angles, while the high low skirt has wider, more relaxed pleats that make the skirt swirl enticingly. A faux belt loaded with sparkle sets off the bold print. <br /><br />This makes a great prom dress but it can serve duty at any semi casual event, and can see lots of wear, unlike some great prom dresses. <br /><br />Check out all the Faviana dresses available at PromOutfitters.com and see why we love this design house - and, if the dresses don't catch your fancy, take a look at one of the other great designers - PromOutfitters.com carries over 20,000 dresses, and our goal is to help you find the perfect dress!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2108_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2047_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="585" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/claudine" target="_blank">Claudine</a> line of dresses is by the house ALYCE Paris, a dress design firm that has been offering gorgeous, artistic creations for years now. They run the gamut from mini dresses to gowns that will be at home in the fanciest prom or dress ball.<br /><br /><strong>THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY</strong><br /><br />ALYCE Paris was originally opened in Lorraine France in 1967 and over the last 45 years has consistently put out excellent designs. They are now headquartered in the Chicagoland area, which is a hotspot for some of today's top designers.<br /><br />ALYCE strives to present strong traditions in their designs that are reminiscent of French and European styles. The firm was founded by Alyce Hamm, and still lives up to her ideals. These stood not just for beauty and excellence, but also extended to the realization that we are all family.<br /><br /><strong>THE PRIME CONCERN - BEAUTY FOR THE DRESSES AND CARE FOR THE CUSTOMER!</strong><br /><br />They deliver such high quality because of that over-riding concern - when you buy a dress from Claudine you get all the ALYCE Paris quality and care, stretching back over four decades. This includes making sure that they use only the best manufacturers in the world - and that is why they are known the world over not just for the beauty and grace of the ALYCE Paris Claudine designs<br /><br />Of course, they specialize in gowns that will be at home in any prom, coming out party, sweet sixteen, quincea&ntilde;era or Bat Mitzvah. Classic European grace into eh <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2057" target="_blank">ALYCE 2057</a>, or a fusion look in the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2047" target="_blank">ALYCE 2047</a> are two great examples of the artistic integrity of this line of dresses.<br /><br /><strong>A LITTLE LESS FORMAL</strong><br /><br />On the fun and frilly side, for do's that are a bit less formal and nights that might just be a night out on the town instead of a prom or soiree check out the Alyce 4258. This strapless mini with rhinestone features a faux snakeskin texture; the jewels across the bosom serve to accentuate the shallow sweetheart neckline.<br /><br />This body hugging dress really is the epitome of new style, and the ALYCE designers deliver in style!<br /><br />Rompers are in, and there are some great examples of them with faux skirts - or take the skirt off, and be right at home in the country club restaurant! Alyce also has all new designs coming out in both traditional gowns and a choice selection of minis and some fusion pieces that are neither minis nor gown.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2108" target="_blank">ALYCE 2108</a> is a great little Claudine for ALYCE dress that gives a playful peek at your effervescent attitude - the strapless, form fitting bodice has a shallow sweetheart neckline and bold patterns that travel from the bodice and down into swirling patterns around the full but short skirt.<br /><br />This dress combines features in an exciting new way that nevertheless gives a retro look, reminiscent of the full short skirts that were popular in the early part of last century. This dress is perfect for an updo, some strappy black high heels and an oversized necklace and earring set. If you are going to wear this dress, go all the way and get ready for fun!</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[The Old Standby- The Cocktail Dressm Comes Into Its Own in 2013]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/The-Old-Standby-The-Cocktail-Dressm-Comes-Into-Its-Own-in-2013/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill2858_7.jpg" border="0" width="360" height="420" style="float: left; margin: 1px 4px;" />The cocktail dress inhabits a strange place in the world of fashion; it is a little bit of many other styles, and for that reason it is hard to pin it down; it could be a minidress, if it was the right one - but not all minidresses are cocktail dresses. <br /><br />SO, JUST WHAT MAKES A COCKTAIL DRESS?<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/terani-c1053" target="_blank">Terani C1053</a> shows the difference - this is a minidress, but it is a bit longer than the normal mini, and the feathered skirt also gives it a sense of modesty that a normal mini does not offer. The ruched bodice is embroidered with flowers around the waistline and over the sleeves, and this plus the feathered skirt gives this dress a look reminiscent of days gone by.<br /><br />For a classic look straight from the days of Marilyn Monroe and other heroines of the silver screen, the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mon-cheri-social-occasions-112866" target="_blank">Mon Cheri Social Occasions 112866</a> is as classic as a cocktail dress can be. This strapless gown has an enlarged flower above the right hip, and can be worn sleeveless or with a small Bolero jacket that really sets the entire outfit off. Ruching at the waist and across the bodice gives the otherwise plain lines an added asymmetrical flair.<br /><br />All the designers that Prom Outfitters work with have some great selections in cocktail dresses. Not as formal as a ball gown, and to much when an occasion calls for a sundress or a traditional miniskirt, the cocktail dress is the queen of the ball when it comes to semi-formal and formal - and some of them might fit into a black tie event.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mac-duggal-7137d" target="_blank">Mac Duggal 7137D</a> definitely fits into that category, with diagonal ruches gathering at the right waist from diagonals slanting both up and down from the opposite side of the dress. Sparkles finish this classy cocktail dress up, and the single shoulder strap and length of the skirt makes this a natural for a black tie event. <br /><br />Even this dress still misses the ball category, though.<br /><br />THE CASUAL SIDE OF COCKTAIL<br /><br />Going more casual is always just as fun as going more formal - and the cocktail dress was made for the party, girls! It lets you great and show the sexy when you need to, like the eye popping <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-2858" target="_blank">Sherri Hill 2858</a>! This is right at the edge of a mini and a cocktail dress. The squared off neckline and three straps in back give this tight sexy mini the class it needs to be right at home in a piano bar or at a country club soiree, and it is far enough to the wild side to satisfy your desire to cut loose!<br /><br />It is no surprise - the infamous 'little black dress' is your classic cocktail, but as we have seen today there are dozens and dozens of choices. Dresses that make you look great and can be used across a wide variety of situations are the best dresses of all. After all, if you have the right dress, you will just be looking for an excuse to try it on - and in today's world, that is something we need to do.<br /><br />Grab ahold of your life, girls - and wear a great dress while you're doing it!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill2814_4_3.jpg" border="0" width="385" height="550" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 3px; border: 0px none;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_5_3.jpg" border="0" width="385" height="550" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 2px 3px; border: 0px none;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sherri Hill graduated Clothing, textile design and fashion arts. By the time she graduated, she was already entranced at the idea of gowns and dresses, and it was not long before she began seeing major success at beauty pageants. And, shortly thereafter, the red carpet welcomed her designs.<br /><br /><strong>SHERRI HILL TAKES THE WORLD BY STORM!</strong><br /><br />Sherri Hill the brand was opened in 2008, and is now a regular in Miss American Pageants and at any award show you can name. Stars ranging the gamut from Selena Gomez to Carrie Underwood have worn her creations, and it is no wonder.<br /><br />From classic ball gowns like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-1460" target="_blank">Sherri Hill 1460</a> to cocktail and party dresses like the sexy, slinky <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-1522" target="_blank">Sherri Hill 1522</a> you can see Sherri Hill&rsquo;s unique sense of style and beauty. She takes great care in designing her dresses, and the way they are manufactured is just as important to her. She holds all of her manufacturers to very high quality standards.<br /><br />This attention to detail and strong artistic sense has made Sherri a premier designer and manufacturer of one of the most impressive dress lines in the world of fashion, but she has gone out of her way to make sure her dresses which don&rsquo;t cost thousands are just as beautiful and made with the same quality as the dresses appearing on the red carpet.<br /><br />Sherri Hill&rsquo;s headquarters are in Austin Texas, but she also has offices in New York City and in Atlanta. Her fashions have been garnering attention since she made her first dress, and Prom Outfitters could not be happier to call Sherri Hill one of our premier designers!<br /><br /><strong>THE SHERRI HILL STANDARD &ndash; EXCELLENCE IN EVERY WAY</strong><br /><br />Take a look at the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-2814" target="_blank">Sherri Hill 2814</a>. This dress features a shallow scoop neckline and embroidered, embellished bodice with wide off the shoulder straps. The flouncy, full skirt falls from the natural waistline in clean lines which accentuate the legs of the girl lucky enough to be wearing this creation by Sherri Hill. This dress is all about laid back fun and strappy heels, and will fit into many different scenarios from a piano bar to a wedding reception or country club dinner!<br /><br />This is the attention to detail and artistic flair that has made Sherri Hill one of the most sought after designers we have ever carried &ndash; this dress comes in a multitude of colors to suit whatever mood you are in or reflect the event that you are buying it for, but don&rsquo;t worry, girls &ndash; this dress is adaptable, and you will find that it is a regular in your dress choices.<br /><br />There are lots of new dresses already coming out for 2013, and the newer styles are starting to move away from the colorful bangles, rhinestones and glitter. This is reflected in the graceful, elegant but simple lines of the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-1453" target="_blank">Sherri Hill 1453</a>. This elegant sheath leaves the back bare, and has an elegant, embellished neckline. The way the dress clings to the curve of your body and the custom ruched bustline gives this dress an eternal elegance that will be in style a hundred years from now. <br /><br />Prom Outfitters is a proud authorized retailer for the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-1460" target="_blank">Sherri Hill</a> line of designer dresses &ndash; visit our online store or call customer service if you have any questions at all about these great dresses!</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/The-Ball-Gown--Some-Historical-Perspective-And-Some-New-Modern-Twits/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal7196M_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="520" onmouseover="this.src='http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal7196M_7.jpg';" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 5px; float: left; border: 0px none;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/o/mori87082_1_4.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="520" style="vertical-align: top; margin: 1px 5px; border: 0px none;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other than a simple shift (which can be a great dress under the right circumstances), the ball gown is the oldest style trend in our history. It goes back so far that it is hard to determine exactly when that thing we consider a ball gown actually happened.<br /><br />Many of the modern gowns would have fit in at different times in the past, and ball gown styles have always had a strong sense of history, even when they are breaking new ground.<br /><br />There is nothing like a haute couture affair, a summer gala or a black tie event to show off the dress and look of a lifetime, and if you are going to a party that holds that type of stature you will want to take plenty of time and look at plenty of styles before you decide on the type of dress you will want to wear.<br /><br />There are many subcategories and forms of the classic ball gown, from off the shoulder to long sleeves and everything in between, and flavored from different cultures like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/jasz-couture-4564" target="_blank">Jasz Couture 4564</a> to a classic European look like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mori-lee-87082" target="_blank">Mori Lee 87082</a>, a true princess gown which leaves the shoulders bare. This stunning gown features a form fitting bodice and an asymmetrical waistline. <br /><br />The long, layered, full skirt sweeps down elegantly from there. Embroidered, sparkling accents set this dress off and will make anyone look like a princess. The A-cut is flattering for many figure types, and this gown would have been right at home in any ball room. It is similar to some of the styles that Grace Kelly wore in the 1950's. If you go back in time a bit more, you will see a much fancier, styled gown like the type Marie Antoinette wore in France in the late 1700's.<br /><br />Once the dress is chosen, put just as much thought into the design and fashion of other items and yourself. If you chose an off the shoulders gown, go with a somewhat larger necklace to point out the fine lines of neck and shoulder, and design your hair in a way that accentuates the dress - if you have long hair, a dress with long sleeves begs for a plait or braid to complete the look.<br /><br />A one shoulder bare, one sleeve look you can mirror that in your hair, sweeping the sleeve side up and letting the bare shoulder side fall down in uneven waves to accentuate the lack of symmetry in the gown itself.<br /><br />For a Mediterranean flair, check out the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mac-duggal-7196m" target="_blank">Mac Duggal 7196M</a>. This dress is a lovely creation with a banded hem from which the skirt flows; the layered skirt has a slit to mid-thigh, and the bustier is held by two straps - other than that the back is bare down to the hips. This is not a dress for the faint of heart, and it demands a slim figure. Add an updo with some decorations and a thin gold chain to complete the look!<br /><br />The ball gowns long history will continue, and it will continue to go through slight variations of cut, color and style. Whatever that happens to be, Prom Outfitters will always offer the very latest styles by the very best designers in our Ball Gown section!</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/The-Importance-of-Designers-Why-we-Pay-Attention-and-Why-You-Should-Care/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/o/mori9070_7.jpg" border="0" width="380" height="538" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" />We here at Prom Outfitters take fashion seriously - as far as we care concerned, it is what makes the world go around. Just mix in family, friends and loved ones!<br /><br />It is our mission to deliver the best designers on the market, and we take great care in the dresses that we choose from each designer. All of the dresses we sell are designer dresses, and we are an authorized retailer for every brand that we sell.<br /><br />We pick designers based on several criteria, and it is hard to say which one is more important. Just ask yourself which leg is more important on a three legged stool, and you will see what I mean!<br /><br />The first is artistic style - the designs themselves. A dress is artwork; it is not like a pair of work boots. A good dress should make any woman look more beautiful, if chosen properly. All of the designers we work with have a strong artistic and design style, and they all offer cutting edge fusion and classic designs that will please any dress shopper!<br /><br />The second leg is the quality with which the dresses and gowns are made. Without that quality, a pretty dress is just so much money wasted. All of our designers go the extra mile to make sure their material and construction of their dresses are top notch and nothing less.<br /><br />The third leg of this stool - for Prom Outfitters and for many of our designers - is a good price that will not break the bank. And prom Outfitters doubles down on that deal with a special section just for gals on a budget - check out our <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sale" target="_blank">Sale Items</a> for a great selection of beautiful dresses that are on sale for as little as $99.00.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/allure-a308" target="_blank">Allure A308</a> is a strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline and a long, flowing gently pleated skirt. This is set off by pleating at the bust line as well, and the gown is tied together by a faux belt of jewels. The accordion pleating gives the skirt a magical swirling motion, and the bright print is perfect for the spring parties that are coming up - especially an outdoor black tie or graduation!<br /><br />For a fun, beautiful dress by another great designer take a look at the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Mori+Lee+9154" target="_blank">Mori Lee 9154</a>. Flouncy, ruffled layered skirts and a glittering strapless bodice will make everyone sit up and take notice. This dress is casual enough to fit into a lot of different circumstances!<br /><br />These are just a few examples of the styles available - for a true, traditional ball, take a look at the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/night-moves-6499" target="_blank">Night Moves 6499</a>, a strapless a line ball gown with a wide, full skirt; the bodice is accentuated with glittering sparkles that trail down the widely pleated skirt.<br /><br />Whether you are looking for a mini, a ball gown or anything in between, Prom Outfitters has the dresses by the designers that bring the quality and artistic sense that it takes to make a truly great dress - we think you'll agree!</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Summer-Dresses-Are-On-The-Way-Again--Whats-New-For-2013/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/t/e/terani825_y1500.jpg" border="0" width="380" height="570" style="margin: 5px 10px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/t/e/terani825_y1500-b.jpg" border="0" width="380" height="570" style="margin: 5px 10px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Winter is winding down already - and it seems as though it just started! That is the way of the seasons, though, and the ways of fashion. And as the weather warms, thoughts turn to finding a perfect summer dress or two that will make you happy and beautiful this coming year as we go through the spring and summer party season.<br /><br />One or two new dresses always brightens and the spirit and gets you ready for a new look throughout the coming year, and the styles and dresses coming down the fashion stage are whetting the appetites of all fashionistas. <br /><br />Here at Prom Outfitters we like the fact that we help you feel and look better, and we have got some great selections right now, like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/terani-couture-y1500" target="_blank">Terani Couture Y1500</a>. This simple, flowing dress features bold patterns and a beaded sweetheart neckline, and the layers of chiffon give it a laid back, flouncy look that can become more or less formal depending on your choice of shoes, accessories and hair.<br /><br />This is the perfect example of a little summer dress that can fill multiple roles and look good in all of them!<br /><br />For a great summer party dress that is excellent for a little bit fancier occasion is the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/allure-a408" target="_blank">Allure A408</a>, a fun little dress that says carefree and fun loving! The frilly skirt runs to an Empire waist and a Sweetheart, strapless bodice, which is layered with lace.<br /><br />For long, late summer nights coolness and comfort is a must, and with a great summer dress it is easy to achieve, and easy to find the right one for any occasion and style (well, OK, not a dress formal!). Usually longer than a mini and possessing a looser and more relaxed fit, the summer dress can still cover a wide spectrum of design styles and fabrics.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/sherri-hill-1527" target="_blank">Sherri Hill 1527</a> is a great example - The bodice possesses a deep V neck in the jeweled bodice, and the Empire waist sports a sheer bow in the center. The skirt is longer than a standard mini, and flows in soft pleats to lower mid-thigh. A great dress for eating at an outdoor caf&eacute; or going to a Bar-B-Q at the golf club, this is a bit fancier than normal but no less a summer dress!<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/terani-c1053" target="_blank">Terani C1053</a> is another sophisticated choice, with a black feathered skirt that could be considered a mini and a form fitting bodice with detailed flowers over the shoulders and around the waist, and trailing across the chest diagonally. This sophisticated dress might actually be termed a summer yacht dress. The bodice is also ruched and the skirt's feathers slip and sway as you walk and the wind takes its mind.<br /><br />Prom Outfitters has over 20,000 dresses, and there are a lot of great options for a new, light summer dress to fill out your look, as something new to wear to this year's parties and most of all just because you deserve a new dress! <br /><br /></p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Style-Trends-in-2013-Are-Already-Starting-To-Show-Up/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal78522M_7.jpg" border="0" width="371" height="470" style="margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; float: left;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Style from one year to another can shift with lightning speed, but there lies always in the fashion industry the basic style tenets that are at street level. These are the styles that people actually wear. Some of them are much fancier, and will be worn at perhaps one or two parties; some of them are going to become favorite dresses that may last for a year or longer, and which are perfect for any but the most formal event.<br /><br />And some end up being the type of favorite that fits nearly any occasion that falls above jeans and a t-shirt.<br /><br />Already, 2013 looks as though simpler lines are going to be emerging as the New Year does, and while 2012 loved brocade and bejeweled creations, you can expect to see that type of decoration gradually disappearing through the coming year.<br /><br />Gucci and Givenchy both showcased dresses with simple lines that will see real world use; by using subtle ruffles and deep frills, a bit of flair is added to what is really a classic example of a dress that could be worn in any season. As the year progresses, this simpler style with less bold embellishments will gain more space in the fashion square.<br /><br />Both of these houses also feature outfits that are runway creations. Many people not in the fashion industry look at some of the dresses on the runway and just don't understand the importance of what is really a dream turned to reality - that is what fashion and design is all about.<br /><br />Fashion turns a vision, filled with simple elegance or bold lines into a reality that you can buy and wear, and that is the true power.<br /><br />And that is why fashion flows as it does; the basic underpinning of style remains, but the slight variations in mini's, party dresses, rompers and pantsuits as well as ball gowns can shift as quickly as the flights of fancy of the major designers.<br /><br />High end fashion has a trickle-down effect that infuses fashion and design in every studio. These design ideas spread throughout the industry from the high end creators to designers who are trying to put true fashion into the hands of people who can't spend an unlimited amount of money on a great dress.<br /><br />Fortunately, Prom Outfitters goes out of our way to make sure that great fashion and great dresses are available at fantastic prices. We work with a select group of designers whose sensibilities and artistic flair consistently produces beautiful, well-made creations that look as good as dresses four and five times as much. <br /><br />These are not second rate designers though! We carry names like Mac Duggal, Faviana, Tony Bowles and more, all top designers and houses, and all with a wide range of dresses. These run the range from classy, fun sundresses to elegant ballroom gowns and more!<br /><br />No matter what you need a great dress for, Prom Outfitters can help you find exactly the right outfit to make your occasion perfect or simply to brighten your day. We have over 20,000 dresses in stock, and all are certified to be original, authentic designer dresses.<br /><br />Order your next dress with confidence at Prom Outfitters, and know that you will get the best of this years fashion at a great price!</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[The Mini Dress The Oldest Dress of All? or Just The Best?]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/The-Mini-Dress-The-Oldest-Dress-of-All/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce4256_7.jpg" border="0" width="370" height="554" style="float: left; margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px;" />They say that fashion always comes around again. It travels in a circle. In some types of fashion the circle is small enough you can see the same style come and go in twenty years.<br /><br />And sometimes the cycle is slower.<br /><br />The sixties was an exciting time - not just the Beatles, but hundreds of bands in the US were driving teenagers wild and making parents shake their heads in disbelief. It wasn't just the music; in fact, the music was simply a fun symptom of the huge social forces that were moving across the face of America. Vietnam, the civil rights movement, the burgeoning cooperation of the government and the major corporations were all in the mix.<br /><br />This was reflected in clothes too - bell bottoms, tie-dye t-shirts and a brand new style that mothers and fathers across the nation decided they hated.<br /><br />This brand new type of dress was the mini-skirt and the mini-dress.<br /><br />Keep in mind, this was taking place in a time when a skirt that went only to the knees was considered short. With a miniskirt, you've got to be careful getting out of the car - we've all seen shots of famous people who weren't quite careful enough.<br /><br />But everything does come around sooner or later; in 2500 BC, Indus cities showed women figurines in garments that look very much like the modern mini-skirt, and there are similar figurines found in earlier ruins as well.<br /><br />And then for a long time, the more civilized we got, the longer the skirts got.<br /><br />Until the early 1920's, when skirts once again went up with the flapper girls. Other than the stage dancers, though the skirts did not go quite as high as they did in the sixties though. Thank goodness for the sixties!<br /><br />A mini-dress is equal parts power and vulnerability, and when worn the right way can simply make a man go weak in the knees. The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/Allure-A468" target="_blank">Allure A468</a> shows what all the fuss is about. This asymmetrical mini features sequins and crystals on the sleeve; it cuts diagonally across a beaded and sequined bodice, leaving one shoulder bare.<br /><br />This mini has a modified sweetheart neckline, but most of all it is black, sleek - and short - the classic minidress, this outfit will look good as long as showing your legs in public is legal!<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/Alyce-4256" target="_blank">Alyce 4256</a> features different sized stones; that would make this a perfect dress to wear on stage for any reason, but it would look just as good in a martini bar or at a yacht party. This dress has a classic single shoulder strap, leaving one shoulder bare and a single strap across an exposed back.<br /><br />The modern designers have treated this ancient style with all the reverence that it deserves, and Prom Outfitters carries some of the most striking mini dresses by some of the best designers on the market. The styles and colors available vary by large amounts, with frilly skirts and feathers, tight skirts and pleats. <br /><br />The mini skirt remains a favorite, and it is no wonder why - empower yourself, show off your legs and knock that guy out of his socks with a great <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-c093" target="_blank">minidress</a> from Prom Outfitters!</p>

      <title><![CDATA[What Dress To Wear To The Party Three Questions To Ask Yourself]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/What-Dress-To-Wear-To-The-Party-Three-Questions-To-Ask-Yourself/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4549_02_3.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="577" style="margin: 3px;" /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4549_7.jpg" border="0" width="390" height="577" style="margin: 3px;" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Party season is coming up, and there is always the question - what dress to wear? There are a few things that you can ask yourself to help you decide which dress to get for which event. These questions can be summed up easily - what type of party, how do I look and am I comfortable.<br /><br />There is no question that is more important than the other two, but just like a stool each question is vitally important. So, when you are considering the party you are shopping for, ask yourself what the party is for - is it a prom, a pageant, a homecoming or a graduation party? Or something much less fancy, like a spring bash at someone's lake house, or a mid-woods bonfire?<br /><br />OK, if it's a bonfire, the pressures off. No need to buy a dress for that one.<br /><br />But what about the spring bash? Without asking, how can you tell what the dress code is going to be like? Where it is being help will be an indicator, as well as whether there will be actual food, finger food or chips in a bowl. If you know the venue, the entertainment and the food you can tell a lot about what kind of party it will be. For the proms, balls and soirees the choices will be much more rigid - if it is black tie, a long gown is appropriate, although some tasteful alternatives may be worn, like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/terani-11075c" target="_blank">Terani 11075C</a> single strap midlength with a short slit. You can find this classy mid length in the <a href="www.promoutfitters.com/new" target="_blank">New Arrival section</a> of the Prom Outfitters website!<br /><br />If it is 'formal' that leaves room for almost any nice dress, from a mini to a skirted romper to a long, flowing off the shoulder slit skirt gown.<br /><br />The nest question is, how do you look? Unlike the models in the pictures, we don't all have the sam type of body, and we won't all look good in every dress. There are about six general body types; straight, pear, hourglass, oval, inverted triangle and diamond. <br /><br />Straight, hourglass, inverted triangle and diamond (hips and waist are broader than the bust) will fit into the most dresses. For an oval or pear shape, princess dresses and A line dresses are best. These dresses allow the pear and oval shape to show off their best features while blending the others with the cut of the dress. <br /><br />Very nice dresses of this style are exemplified by the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/jasz-couture-4549" target="_blank">Jasz Couture 4549</a> - an excellent dual strap gown that emphasizes the bosom and because of the flowing nature of the dress helps to hide a larger body type. <br /><br />Women with the inverted V, a larger bust with slim hips and waist have their own troubles, and once again, gowns and dresses which flow naturally or which have a plush skirt like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-4247" target="_blank">Alyce 4247</a> work great with this body type.<br /><br />The last thing is - your comfort. Don't let someone push you to the type of dress you want to wear; you know what you want, even if you have to think about it for a while. It's how you feel that gives a great dress its power, and that power has always been a confidence in your own beauty.<br /><br />Prom Outfitters is here to help you with that - with great dresses, great prices and great customer service!</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Long-Sleeves-And-Wintertime-A-Great-Combination-But-Not-All-of-Them-Will-Keep-You-Warm/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2147_7.jpg" border="0" width="350" height="457" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: left;" />Long sleeves have a certain flare, but they are not the church dress. Long sleeves now can adorn the richest gown, the sexiest mini or an edgy romper, like the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2147">Alyce 2147</a>. The sheer illusion bodice with a nude under layer has black flowers and vines embroidered on it to go with the large rhinestones on the waistband, and the black short are hand sequined. The trail turns this great get-up into a faux dress fit for any occasion.<br /><br />The sleeve does not just help keep us warm in the winter, though it does do that also. It gives the designers an extra something to work with, and they have not been shy about using one long sleeve to make a statement. The single sleeve or one shoulder dress is one of the coming year's hottest looks, and the dresses at Prom Outfitters show that to good effect - nearly every designer has one armed dresses that bare the shoulder. <br /><br />To pull off a one sleeve dress, though, there are certain things you should be aware of.<br /><br />First, invest in an adaptable bra if you are going with a one shoulder dress; there are several out there that can be adapted for one shoulder or strapless, and if you are going to wear these types of dresses this is essential!<br /><br />Do not slouch with a single sleeve creation - the lines of the outfit are purposely not symmetrical, and if you slouch or don't stand like you're on the stage it simply won't fit right.<br /><br />Do not carry a purse the hangs - clutches are the go to fashionable choice with a single sleeve gown.<br /><br />Another way to spice up the combo, especially if you are wearing a sequined or bejeweled gown is to wear a bit of glitter on the bare shoulder and arm. These simple how to tips go with off the shoulder dresses as well, girls, so don't forget what you are wearing halfway through the party!<br /><br />Long sleeved gowns can be a great thing for the slightly shyer set, but choose wisely for your body type or you run the risk of looking a bit frumpy. Long sleeves allow us to move from the car to the restaurant or party without a coat. <br /><br />Let's face it, unless it's absolutely freezing coats just don't go with hot - and especially not with a great dress underneath. Another feature of most long sleeved gown is a full back - between the back and the sleeves, a coat is unnecessary most of the time. Just make sure your man parks with the valet!<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/jovani-5950">Jovani 5950</a> is a great example of a long sleeve dress that will never look frumpy - this ombre beaded long sleeved mini with a deep V neckline will keep you warm and make you hot at the same time.<br /><br />If you are ready for a long sleeve or single sleeve mini, cocktail or evening dress, Prom Outfitters has the dress for you at a great price; under style, just click long sleeved and see what our best designers have to offer!</p>]]></description>

This is our favorite time of year as many of the newest style and hottest designs for next year are already here - come into Prom Outfitters New section and see what's available.<br /><br />Black tie concerts, spring cotillions and balls all bring a chance to buy a new long dress - evening gown, ball gown, prom dress. There are a lot of names for these classiest of dresses but Prom Outfitters has them all from our great designers.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-9325" target="_blank">The Blush 9320</a> screams elegance and brings the sexy with a form fitting spaghetti strap bodice and long, flowing bodice, fitted with glittering stones that radiate outward from the center. The plunging neckline is tastefully bold, and the bare back sans two small straps says you're ready for a hot night.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/faviana-6428" target="_blank">The Faviana 6428</a> is another classic suitable for the black tie event; the sweetheart neckline and strapless bodice has is ruched across the bust and bodice, and the straight slit skirt has a slight flare. This A style dress is a knockout, and will make you feel like you're worth a million bucks.<br /><br />For a more casual affair and a greater array of suitable events, we think the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/dave-and-johnny-8659" target="_blank">Dave and Johnny 8659</a> is a fantastic piece with a short frilly skirt with long trailers and a spaghetti strap bodice with embroidered beads and a faux belt that transitions the bodice into the tulle skirt.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mac-duggal-50067m" target="_blank">The Mac Duggal 50067M</a> is an interesting little number coming out for the coming year, and combines the mini dress with a long, flowing tulle skirt that makes this a faux split skirt. The flower applique on the sweetheart neck off the shoulder bodice will make the cut for nearly any formal affair or prom, and is just as at home in a semi-formal setting.<br /><br />We love the fusion and retro looks here at Prom Outfitters. There is just something about certain designs that take us back in time at the same time they are pushing us towards the future. Mac Duggal has designs that cover the gamut, but these two are great examples of why we love Mac Duggal.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mac-duggal-50067m" target="_blank">The Mac Duggal 7206R</a> is sexy and sassy, with a feathered, short skirt and a black embroidered short sleeved bare back top in black and nude, with the black taking the form of sporadic flowers and vines; can you say flapper girl? You will make a flap when you show up in this fun and adaptable dress.<br /><br />And finally we have the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/mac-duggal-50067m" target="_blank">Mac Duggal 7196M</a>.

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Fashion-Trends-Classic-Is-Always-Classic-But-When-Can-A-New-Design-Lay-Claim-To-That-Title/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img style="margin: 4px;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4564_03_3.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="575" /><img style="margin: 4px;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4564_7.jpg" alt="" width="391" height="576" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There has been a certain look that has always been the best that fashion has to offer; some things may go in and out; collars, sleeves and skirt lengths are certainly all part of a fashion world that fluctuates from year to year. At the same time there are timeless designs that will look good no matter what the fashion gurus say a particular year is all about.<br /><br />The styles of dresses that truly last and can be used for multiple purposes moves very slowly - much more slowly than normal fashion trends, which can shift with lightning quickness. Like many things, each part of the fashion world is there for a specific purpose. One of the design paradigms is to create dresses that are outside the norm - these dresses get the blood boiling for that one spectacular event, and then go into the closet never to be worn again.<br /><br />There is nothing wrong with that, especially if you have a lot of money, but many people shop for great clothes on a much tighter budget. Prom Outfitters loves making great styles available at great prices, and we know that many of our customers cannot just buy a dress for a single use, but look for something that will have that timeless, morphing quality that will be good not just at the big New Year's Eve party but a classy outdoor country club affair or a wedding reception.<br /><br />A good example of the blow it out, over the top special occasion only comes once in a lifetime type of dress is the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/jasz-couture-4564" target="_blank">Jasz Couture 4564</a>. This gorgeous Latin ballroom gown is great for a night of nights, but unless you go to the Latina dance competitions, this asymmetrical, fringe ruffles enticingly reveal the back and sides and features a deep V neckline.<br /><br />From the same studio, the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/jasz-couture-4902">Jasz Couture 4902</a> is a dazzling evening gown that will see way more than one night out. This dress makes a bold statement with a dual strap gemstone covered bodice and a net illusion skirt. This dress brings back classic style with new sensibilities, and the filmy full skirt will entice and entrance any man in sight.<br /><br />Another great dress that will fit many occasions is the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/dave-and-johnny-8201" target="_blank">Dave and Johnny 8201</a>. This fun dress has a full skirt and spaghetti straps with a classic bodice encrusted with large gemstones, and this style simply does not go out - variations of this dress have been appearing in Hollywood and on the red carpet since the golden days of the silver screen.<br /><br />All of these looks and more are waiting for you at Prom Outfitters; we have over 20,000 dresses of every style imaginable, and usually ship all orders the same day they are made. Our prices are among the best, and if you buy a dress from Prom Outfitters you know that you are buying a guaranteed designer dress - we are an authorized retailer for all of our designers.<br /><br />If you ever have any questions about any of the dresses discussed here or anything else you see on our website, our world class customer service is here to make sure you get exactly the right dress for your special occasion. And remember - the best style is what you think you look good in. Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise?</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Fashin-Trends-and-the-Designers-Who-Set-Them-There-of-Our-Favorites/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blushX021_7.jpg" alt="" width="342" height="414" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Prom Designers is the biggest online dress store. We have over 20,000 dresses in stock and ship across the country and around the world every day to bring women of all types the perfect dress for that special occasion. We love that we can have a positive experience in people's lives, and we want to make that experience the best you've had in buying a dress.<br /><br />Blush Prom by Alexia is one of our favorites for a wide selection of dresses, from straight out prom dresses to a fun mix of styles, evening gowns, cocktail dresses and more. A great example of a classic cocktail mini is the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9442" target="_blank">Blush Prom 9442</a>. This mini made from two tone sequin features a sparkling universe of geometric crystals, and the off the shoulder leaves a ton of possibilities for hair and jewelry.<br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-x021" target="_blank"><br />The Blush X021</a> is a classic homecoming dress, or great for a boat party or a fancy cookout; the sequined top fugs the body, and the full tulle skirt bring back thoughts of more innocent times. It is this fun loving attitude that makes Blush Prom such a great line to work with, an their quality and attention to detail make them an easy dress to sell!<br /><br />Cassandra Stone does not just make dresses - they make artwork. These dresses will never fit in anywhere, and they are not designed to. They are designed to showcase, and to light the mind and heart on fire. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/cassandra-stone-3434a" target="_blank">The Cassandra Stone 3434A</a>, a Hollywood inspired evening gown that lives up to the best of Tinsel Town sensibility and style. This sequined gown drips luscious folds and curves. In the front it promises modesty with a keyhole neckline, but the promise is something else entirely with a low, revealing cowl back. This is a prime example of the Cassandra Stone line, which lives within the Mac Duggal fashion house.<br /><br />There is no other way to put it - for dresses that will be in style from now to eternity; Terani Couture is a safe bet. They can make a mini cocktail dress look like it should be on the floor of a ball, where full dress tail coats are expected and black tie just won't do. <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/terani-35053c" target="_blank">The Terani Couture 35053C</a> is a great example of this. <br /><br />Rosettes decorate the single shoulder strap and curl back around the hip and down to the skirt. The skirt and the bodice are both ruched, and there are crystals sprinkled about the dress to accentuate the light. For something a bit longer and if possible even sexier is the fantastic off the shoulder <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/terani-1318p" target="_blank">Terani 1318P</a>. <br /><br />This is a new arrival for Prom Outfitters, and it is easy to see why we love Terani Couture when you look at this gorgeous evening gown. This strapless sequined chiffon hugs the body tight and has a generous split in the skirt - rock this dress with caution; it will make men chase after you. <br /><br />All of Terani's dresses are made from the best fabrics; they have an excellent quality control in place, and their dresses show - from design to execution, a Terani will never let you down! Prom Outfitters has a large selection of all these designers, and more will be coming in as the New Year rolls around. Pick your favorite dress, and get ready for a new year of fun and parties!</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Springtime-Is-Just-Around-The-Corner-Do-You-Have-Your-Pro/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/prom-dresses" target="_blank"><strong><img style="margin: 5px; float: left;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush9410.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="523" />www.promoutfitters.com/prom-dresses</strong></a><br /><br />Prom season is now just around the corner, and it is never too early to think about what you want to wear for your prom dress. There are some great designs in a multitude of colors, cuts and styles - enough for anyone to find the perfect dress for the prom.<br /><br />One of the first questions you will want to ask yourself is, what kind of school is it, and what kind of prom is it supposed to be?<br /><br />The prom is always a way to express your spirit through your dress, but the fancier the school, the more the classic designs are going to be desired. But don't worry, from a soiree in the ballroom to a blowout in the gym, the prom is the prom, and the one you are going to is going to be the best one ever. Gymnasiums are never so transformed as when the prom committee get ahold of them, and I remember mine vividly - minidresses were just fine where I went, but there were plenty of gowns there too.<br /><br />Style is wide open going into 2013, but some choices are never a mistake twenty years later. On the other hand, sometimes that is exactly what you want - it may be out of style in two years, but if it fits that night go for it!<br /><br />For a great example of the classic prom gown, take a look at the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-9410" target="_blank">Blush 9410</a>, an off the shoulder floor length gown in tulle, this magenta gown is classic beauty defined. The bustier flows directly into the skirt and features a sequin spray from hip to bosom - for an outdoor event, a lacy umbrella that matches the dress color would be called for.<br /><br />Another choice from Blush that is definitely more modern and can be morphed into a dress for any occasion is the daring and sexy <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/blush-prom-c093" target="_blank">Blush Prom C093</a>. This bandaged clubdress has striking lines, but the dance club is not the only place to wear this - I don't know a boyfriend alive who wouldn't want his girl to wear this number to the prom, and even though it's a mini it is classy - note the beads on the first white stripe.<br /><br />There is no hard and fast rule - rompers are making a big comeback, and they are infinitely adaptable, with add on skits that gives a romper an elegant turn. They are perfect to add accoutrements as well - off the shoulder designs can always be used to accentuate the perfect necklace, and an updo makes adding earrings a worthy activity.<br /><br />A perfect example of the elegant and adaptable jumper is the <a href="http://www.promoutfitters.com/alyce-2093" target="_blank">Alyce 2093</a> a strapless poly chiffon gown and attached shorts with a sheer skirt and a wide belt with large stones. This asymmetrical pleated bodice is gorgeous, and will look great in nearly any setting - for less formal parties, take the skirt off, or for a retro look get a snappy hat and a dance line cane!<br /><br />Go wild this year - pick your best dress and don't worry what other people think about it. You are only young once, and you only get one chance to go to your senior prom. Surf Prom Outfitters and you will find just what you need!</p>

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/What-You-Need-to-Know-When-Shopping-for-Special-Occasion-Dresses/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img style="vertical-align: top; margin: 4px;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4564_7.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="573" /><img style="margin: 4px;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/a/jasz4564_03_3.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="575" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are times during the year when women face special occasions. This is especially true during the holiday season when there are so many events and parties to attend. But special occasions occur throughout the year as well. So, how does the well-dressed woman find the perfect dresses for all those events? She shops at Prom Outfitters.<br /><br />Prom Outfitters has a huge selection of finely crafted dresses that are appropriate for any type of special occasion or event. When it comes to finding that perfect dress, women should consider a few things as they shop. Let's take a look at a few of those now.<br /><br />First, understand that you have a whole array of options available to you these days. From sweet dresses to hot little numbers that will catch the eye of everyone, there is that perfect dress for you. You can find dresses that incorporate luscious ruffles, lace, beads, or combinations of those embellishments. Or you can find dresses that offer sweeping necklines, bright colors, hemlines that are short, mid, or long and just about everything in between.<br /><br />Second, consider the events that you are most likely going to attend or the event that will be attending. When you attend your event do you want to look professional or do you want to look more relaxed and casual? Do you want to look soft and sweet, or do you want to look hot and flirty? The good news is you can find any of these styles at Prom Outfitters, and many of these special occasions are priced well within the budget of most women who want to look great.<br /><br />Third, when shopping for your special occasion dress, consider the shape of the dress and buy one that fits your body. Be honest with yourself, not all cuts are going to be flattering. This is a true statement for all women. Purchase the dress that fits your body and that makes you look good and feel good wearing. Make sure that it is comfortable and that you can move freely in it. For those with a pear shaped body, consider a form fitting dress on the top with a loose fitting shape for the bottom of the dress. For those with an hourglass shape, consider a form forming style such as the frock. If you have great legs, consider a shorter dress; if you want to show off your arms, consider a sleeveless outfit.<br /><br />Don't forget to consider the dress's neckline. The neckline plays an important part on any dress. By showing off your neck, you can set the stage for everything else and change your whole look. Consider strapless, v-neck, cowl neck, one shoulder, sweetheart necklines, or even spaghetti straps to highlight your neck and shoulder areas.<br /><br />The good news about finding that perfect special occasion dress is that you will certainly find it at Prom Outfitters. With such a huge selection, and so many styles and designs available, every woman will be able to get that perfect dress for any type of special occasion.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[The Little Black Dress: A Mainstay for All Fashionable Women]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/A-Mainstay-for-All-Fashionable-Women/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; float: left;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blushc092.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="370" /><img style="margin: 3px 5px;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/o/jovani2742_2.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="375" /><img style="margin: 3px 5px;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/t/e/teraniJP611_7.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="374" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are some fashions that are simply timeless, and the little black dress certainly falls into the category of timeless. The little black dress has been a staple in many of the most best-dressed women for decades, and that trend continues. The little black dress is so popular because it is so versatile and complements any wardrobe. It can be dressed up easily for special occasions or dressed down for more casual affairs. It works with heels or flats, jewels or bare, and can go just about anywhere, day or night. For these reasons, every woman should have at least one little black dress in her closet.<br /><br />When selecting the perfect little black dress for you, keep a few things in mind. First, consider the length of the skirt. You will find that the term "little black dress" actually covers a lot of styles and lengths. If you aren't shy about showing more leg, you will certainly be able to find an outfit that highlights your legs. On the other hand, if you prefer a bit more modesty, you, too, will find that you have many options that still fall under the title of little black dress.<br /><br />Shorter outfits are usually worn by younger woman, while longer dresses are preferred by most older or professional women. For those looking for a longer length, the experts recommend that you look for a length that falls just above the knee or just below the knee. This lower length is considered the lower limit for dresses that are termed little black dresses. What may surprise many women who are not familiar with this particular style is knowing that there are several lengths available, one of which will be perfect for any woman.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned above, the little black is versatile and can be worn to a variety of events. The little black dress fits in perfectly when you go to clubs, cocktail parties, office events, holiday affairs, or just a night on the town with family and friends. The key to making the little black dress work such double duty is to make sure that you accessorize your outfit properly. This means taking the time to get the right shoes, jewels, and handbags to go with your little black dress. By switching up your shoes, for instance, your little black dress can be worn at office parties (heels) to girl's night out (flats). <br /><br />One thing to always remember when buying your first little black dress is to get one that you feel comfortable wearing. For your first outfit, consider buying one that will be appropriate for several different occasions. This is a great way to get a lot of fashion for a little bit of money. And don't worry about not being able to find a great design. Prom Outfitters offers a huge selection of little black dresses that were created by some of the most famous designers in business today. You will find selections from such notable designers as Sherri Hill, Tony Bowls, Jovani and many others. The hard part will be deciding which one to buy</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_1_4.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" />&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_2_3.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" />&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_3_3.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" />&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_4_3.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It's time to start thinking about your Christmas dresses for this year. Many women will find that the next month or so will be filled with a variety of events and parties. Others will find that they will attend fewer parties, but will spend a lot of time with family and friends. In either case, having the perfect assortment of Christmas dresses is called for. The good news is it is easier today to find that perfect Christmas dress online than ever before, and the lines for this year contain everything from sleek and sexy to traditional.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Having the right Christmas dress can help you enjoy the entire holiday season. You can find Christmas dresses in a variety of designs including many with satin finishes and unique cuts which are always helpful in showing off your best features. This year, you will also be able to find more color options than ever before. The traditional colors of red and green are available, of course, but if your sights on something more colorful, you will not be disappointed. Some of this year's most popular colors include deep ferns, sultry blacks and just about anything in between. When women have so many color choices, it makes it very easy to select the right color to match her skin tone or the settings where she will be wearing the attire.<br /><br />Many women are turning to form-fitting Christmas dresses this year. Tony Bowls has a full line of these designs including the new V-Neck short sleeve design that the company has become famous for. Other designers such as Alyce and Sherri Hill have introduced some very nice Christmas dresses for this holiday season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_5_3.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="341" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_6_3.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="341" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1429_7_3.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="341" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />One trend that seems to be taking place this year with Christmas dresses is that hemlines are going down. Many designers have brought out lines where the hem just brush the knee area, while others have decided to drop their hemline but not as much. These are great options for those who want to have a bit of modesty while attending their functions or parties. Even though the hemlines on some of these lines have gone down, the dresses are still very attractive and sexy. For those looking for shorter hemlines, consider Jovani or look at the sexier Christmas offerings coming out from Sherri Hill, who has something for everyone.<br /><br />One of the best kept secrets about this year's Christmas and holiday dress lines is that many designers have decided to create fashions that are simply perfect for the holiday season but will also be appropriate for wear during the rest of the year. Let's face it, who wants to buy a dress that can only be worn a few times during the year? Now, women can select holiday dresses that are perfect for holiday events but functional enough to be worn the entire year. This makes buying a Christmas holiday dress more of an investment in your wardrobe than an impulse buy. <br /><br />When you look for your new Christmas outfit, don't forget to remember the accessories. Nothing highlights a new Christmas dress as do the right shoes and handbag. As with Christmas dresses, finding the perfect accessories is easy when you shop with Prom Outfitters.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Finding the Best Cocktail Dresses Just Got a Lot Easier]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Finding-the-Best-Cocktail-Dresses-Just-Got-a-Lot-Easier/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/o/jovani6582_2.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" />&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blushc093.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" />&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/o/jovani5801_7.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" />&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/c/0/c098.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="287" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cocktail dresses are not just for very special occasions anymore. More and more women are turning to their cocktail dress assortment as their option of choice when it comes to a variety of events and parties. One of the most important benefits to having a few cocktail dresses is that they can go from intimate get-togethers to full-blown holiday or company parties. Any occasion that does not require formal attire can be an occasion to wear your cocktail dress.<br /><br />Cocktail dresses are not appropriate for all occasions, as just mentioned. They usually do not fit in well with formal events such as weddings. There are a few reasons for this. The first reason is that cocktail dresses are usually designed in shorter lengths than what one might want to wear to a wedding. Another reason that cocktail dresses are not always appropriate is due to their embellishments and fabrics. Because these dresses are shorter and have more flair to them than most other types of dresses, they are best used when the event or occasion is less than formal but more than casual. In terms of length, the average cocktail dress length can vary from just above or below the knee, down to the dresses length falling about midway between the knee and ankle. Some designs even have the dress stopping near the ankles.</p>
<p>Another benefit to having a few cocktail dresses in your wardrobe is that they are affordable. Many women are surprised to learn that even the most attractive cocktail dress can be priced well within their budgets. This is an important point when most women are trying to save as much money as possible when it comes to buying new clothing. Many online vendors such as Prom Outfitters offer a huge variety of cocktail dresses that are priced right. And when one considers how stylish and fashionable these dresses are, the choice to buy becomes easy.</p>
<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal6208B_7.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="355" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal7214B_7.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="355" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal7210B_7.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="355" /></p>
<p>When it comes to cocktail dresses, women find that they have a lot of latitude in terms of colors, styles, fabrics, sizes, lengths, and, of course, price. Today, a lot of women are looking toward the retro-style of cocktail dress which has become very popular over the last year or so. Retro-style, or vintage-style, cocktail dresses often some of the most unique design features and look as if they cost a small fortune, but are normally priced well within a woman's budget. <br /><br />There are many other styles of cocktail dresses as well. These include: strapless, strapped, single off the shoulder designs, ruffled designs, sleeveless designs, cutaway fashions, sexy halter styles, V neck and scooped neck fashions, weaved designs and tiered fashions to name just a few. All of these are available in various sizes and lengths, and finding the perfect color is usually not a problem as larger online outlets such as Prom Outfitters carry a huge selection from which to choose.<br /><br />The color black is always in fashion and is often the best first cocktail dress to buy as it can go anywhere.

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/So-I-Found-The-Perfect-Dress-How-Can-I-Be-Sure-Of-A-Perfect-Sale/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: right;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/o/jovani9535_03_3.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="419" /></p>
<p>There are a few easy steps to follow to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase, and in the end that should be the number one goal of any retailer, whether they are an online only store, a brick and mortar store that sells online of a brick and mortar only store. <br /><br />Purchasing a dress online is a great way to expand what may be available to you locally, and you can also get great deals on prom, party and pageant dresses, but there are a few things to keep I mind when buying.<br /><br />The first thing to realize is that dresses are usually sized differently than regular clothes, so pay special attention to getting your sizes measured accurately, and if you have any questions at all about what size to order talk to a customer service representative. If you seem to be between sizes, it is usually best to go up a size and then get the dress altered for you specifically. It is not unusual for high quality dresses to be altered to attain a perfect fit just as men usually have to have suits slightly altered.<br /><br />The next thing to do is to read and understand the return policies of the store you are dealing with; most high end dress sellers have similar rules, and charge a percentage for all returns. As well, if the dresses or tags are damaged in any way, or if the dress appears to have been worn most stores will not accept the return. This policy is to protect you - no one wants a dress that has been worn to a party.<br /><br />Also, dresses which are on markdown or special or which ship internationally are usually not refundable - specials are a great way to save even more money, but make sure you are getting the dress you really want before you hit the purchase button!<br /><br />Some dresses will require a special order, and may take longer than normal to ship - if you want these specialty items, be sure to contact customer service so that you can make sure of getting the dress long enough before the event to have it altered by a professional if necessary.<br /><br />If you have any questions at all about what the dress is made of or any other questions about the manufacture and composition of the dress, contact customer service - they are there to make sure your purchase is right from the start, and that you will be satisfied from the moment you open the box and beyond.<br /><br />There is nothing like buying a great new dress for a special event or party, or getting bridesmaid dresses for your maids of honor; sometimes you will want one that you wear once or twice, and other times you may want something that can be worn to multiple functions; either way, when you see a gown like the Alyce 2069 or the little mini Jovani 171924 with lace top and spaghetti skirt, follow the tips here and be assured of a great dress buying experience.<br /><br />There is little more pleasing to a young woman than getting a really nice dress, and with a few simple steps you can make sure that you are buying exactly what you want, in the correct size and color - and remember, if you have even the smallest question call one of our great customer service reps to make sure you have the best shopping experience possible!<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/m/a/macduggal42661H_7.jpg" alt="" width="782" height="993" /></p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Buyer Beware - When Buying Dresses Online, Make Sure You Are Dealing With An Authorized Retailer]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Buyer-Beware-When-Buying-Dresses-Online-Make-Sure-You-Are-Dealing-With-An-Authorized-Retailer/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: right;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/o/jovani5801_7.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="518" />Buying dresses online has many advantages - dealing with a great store that is to far away to drive to, the discounts available, the selection and ease of shopping are all great reasons to use the web to shop for your prom dress or party dress. <br /><br />One thing to be aware of, though, is that all online dress sellers are not created equal - there is nothing worse than buying a dress online and realizing that you have been duped; in some cases the dress never ships, or it could be an obvious fake or counterfeit. Poor manufacture, colors which are not accurate and a bad fit are the surest signs that you have gotten a counterfeit garment.<br /><br />There are some things you can do to make sure you are getting what you are seeing, though - and the best thing is, it does not take long to determine if the website you are looking at is a legitimate reseller of the best designers.<br /><br />When looking at a web site, first determine if the company is an online only retailer or a brick and mortar store that also sells online; either of these is acceptable as long as they are a legitimate and authorized dealer for the designer you are considering.<br /><br />Once you have selected the dress you want, go directly to the designers website and consult their 'Where to Buy' section - this also may be listed under authorized retailers. If the store you are considering purchasing from is not listed as an authorized dealer, under no circumstances should you purchase from that store - they have either gotten the dress through illegitimate channels or are selling cheap knock-offs.<br /><br />The next thing you will want to do is look fort reviews of the store you are buying from - these can come from Angie's List, Yahoo or other sites where people post reviews - Facebook is becoming a good place to look for reviews as well, but when looking at the store's Facebook page you will want to use caution as they can simply delete bad reviews.<br /><br />Reviews can be faked though, even from trustworthy review sites - one thing that cannot be faked is a good customer service department. Call the phone number for customer service before you buy, and have a list of questions ready - what if the dress doesn't fit, or there is something wrong with it? What are the return polices? How quickly will they ship the dress once it is paid for?<br /><br />When buying dresses such as the Alyce 2038 or the Johnathan Kayne 202 these questions are important, but the main thing you are doing when asking these pre-purchase questions is judging the customer service itself - do they answer quickly, or is there a long wait time? Do they answer your questions quickly and concisely, and do they work directly for the store you are thinking about buying from? These are the actual things you are trying to ascertain, since bogus retailers will almost never have a good customer service department.<br /><br />If you take these simple steps and they all check out, you can be assured that the designer has put the retailer through their own quality control procedures - order your dress with confidence, secure in the knowledge that you have picked a great retailer!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/p/a/partytime6686_03_3.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="528" />Prom Outfitters works with some of the best designers in the dress industry, and we take great care in selecting whose dresses we decide to offer for our customers. We know that when you have a special event, whether it is a wedding, a prom, or a coming of age party - or just for a special party - young women of taste want style and quality when it comes to the dress that they decide on. <br /><br />We work with many different fashion houses, from Alisha Hill to Tony Bowls and many others.<br /><br />Tony Bowls has been a fast riser in the industry - he joined Mon Cheri in 2004 to develop the Tony Bowls Collection which featured many groundbreaking pageant designs, but he has dresses for every occasion, from pageant formal to super slinky fun shorts. <br /><br />These designs are best represented by dresses like the Tony Bowls 112508 formal long gown in black with a twisted, over one shoulders bodice and a rather slim, silver vine embroidered long, flowing skirt to the sleek, sparkly Tony Bowls TS11271, a sparkly black mini perfect for a semi-formal outdoors soir&eacute;e or just a fun night on the town. Long flowing hair and a pair of strappy heels will set this little number off, making you a sight that your loved one will never forget. <br /><br />Another great designer for formals, proms and pageants is Mac Duggal - this is the designer that Emily Hart chose to wear when being crowned Miss Indiana when she won and qualified to go to the Miss USA Pageant.<br /><br />Mac Duggal was born in India in 1960, and has had a passion for design as a young man, spending countless days and nights drawing and sketching evening wear, and it paid off - his first collection was released in 1985 to rave reviews, and he has won many awards since then. His dresses have been worn by celebs and socialites in every facet of the entertainment industry.<br /><br />He is currently headquartered in Chicagoland, and oversees every aspect of his dresses, ensuring their quality in manufacture as well as design. He doesn't just sell trends - he sells confidence, and has designs for every body type, and every type of party that you are likely to go to. <br /><br />A favorite for the prom is the Mac Duggal 1133D, a classic gown in black or deep red, with one full embroidered sleeve baring one shoulder, a horizontal twist around the midriff and a slit skirt which has embroidery on the hip opposite the single sleeve. This dress would be at home in any prom or pageant, or in a James Bond movie set - classic styling with excellent quality.<br /><br />No matter who the manufacturer is on our website, our goal is always the same - to make sure you are as happy with your purchase as possible! We are an authorized retailer for every designer line we carry, and we always offer an Authenticity Guarantee on every dress we sell.<br /><br />Buy with confidence, and treat yourself to a world class designer dress with the best customer service and prices around, and let us help you look like a million bucks for that special night!<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/j/o/jovani172063_7.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="620" /></p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Choose Your Bridesmaids Dresses With A Fun Attitude, And An Eye Towards Future Use]]></title>
      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Choose-Your-Bridesmaids-Dresses-With-A-Fun-Attitude/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/t/e/teraniP613_7.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="500" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/t/e/teranip613_3.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="500" /></p>
<p>Bridesmaids dresses are often the butt of a joke, and there is no question that some of them have been - well, joke worthy. But there is no reason in today's world to pick an ugly dress in a bad color that can never be used again (other than to start the odd fire or two). Style has moved a long way in the last twenty years, and now the only limitation on what your bridesmaids can wear are the limitations that you set yourself.<br /><br />Prom Outfitters sells dresses for every occasion, and though we don't offer a specific bridesmaids category, many of the dresses we sell can make great dresses for the other ladies in the wedding, no matter what the tone of the wedding is, formal or casual, in church or outdoors or in a grand ballroom.<br /><br />Make your bridesmaids happy to buy their dress by picking something like the Sherri Hill 2840, a classic mid length dress in ivory. This dress has loads of class but can be used again and again in every occasion from semi-formal to an outdoor summer soir&eacute;e, and Sherri Hill has many designs, both more formal and more playful than this classic ivory mid length.<br /><br />Another great choice is a beautiful gown from Blush, the Blush 5122. This off the shoulder dress has a form fitting bodice and a frilly lavender skirt that is definitely more formal than the Sherri Hill design, and has a more classic bridesmaids look, but it is definitely a wear again dress for any formal gathering, pageant or spring cotillion.<br /><br />Jovani also offers many beautiful dresses, like the Jovani 173029 - this fun, flirty dress in black or white is definitely non-traditional, and is perfect for the spring or summer outdoor wedding; it will be just as handy for semi-formal affairs, yacht parties and more with a lace top and spaghetti skirt.<br /><br />But don't worry - the bride will still shine brighter in her Mori Lee gown, an elegant wedding gown available in ivory or white with a modestly full skirt that flows outward below the hips and hugs the body with embroidered vines; these are set off by roses figured into the front of the skirt, and the off the shoulder design is perfect for a variety of veils. <br /><br />Don't play by the rules of your mother and grandmother; step into the modern world and rethink what your bridesmaids' dresses should be like; they will be your friends forever, but will be even closer when you pick something that they can actually use after the wedding!<br /><br />Don't forget the shoes or accessories either; Prom Outfitters carries a line of bags, shoes and accessories that will help accentuate any dress you choose for the other women in your wedding. We have hundreds of dresses to pick from, but don't feel limited by old tradition - pick a beautiful dress, and get great customer service and great prices from Prom Outfitters. We will be happy to work with you to pick the best dresses possible for this most important day!</p>

<p>It seems as though nearly every culture has a version of this party - the coming of age party for young women when they reach the age of 15 or 16, but can be as late as 18 or 20. In the Vietnam culture, the age for girls is 18. No matter what the age, these rites of passage are followed by a party for the young woman. <br /><br />In some cultures they treat this as a religious rite, such as the Bat Mitzvah, and in other cultures it is simply a party to celebrate the teen's entrance into young womanhood, such as the sweet sixteen or quincea&ntilde;era in the American and Hispanic cultures. In the cultures where there is religious significance, though, the event is often celebrated by a party as well as the religious ceremony.<br /><br />In every culture, if there is a party, the young lady will need to get the best dress of her life. It is often the most important party for a young lady until the prom and of course the wedding, and should be celebrated with pomp and circumstance, with frivolity and free spirit - what better excuse to buy a dress that will reflect the young ladies personality and the tone of the party?<br /><br /><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush5125_7.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="520" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/b/l/blush5125_02_3.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="520" /></p>
<p>Prom Outfitters has dresses for all occasions, from playful and fun to the best couture gowns. For the extra fancy formal coming of age party, the Da Vinci 50088 is a timeless classic, with an off the shoulder for fitting bodice transforming into a full, flowing skirt with a vine and flower motif, done all in white, and set off with a white silk belt and white flower.<br /><br />This off the shoulder dress will make a young lady truly feel like a princess and is a timeless example of style and beauty that will not be forgotten. This dress is classy enough to serve as a wedding dress, but makes an excellent choice for a formal coming of age party. Da Vinci specializes in elegant formal, ballroom, wedding and bridesmaids dresses that are excellently made, have a classic design and are priced very moderately for the quality of materials and design that you get, and Prom Outfitters is pleased to carry this excellent line of dresses.<br /><br />For something a lot more fun and frolicky, Blush has the goods with lots of choices like the Blush X022, an off the shoulder pink or purple bodice with a full, fun, frilly skirt that will not inhibit any dance steps.

Dresses like the Alyce 4247, a leopard print off the shoulder with a full, flouncy skirt that has the look of toll&eacute; or taffeta in a soft golden color is great for casual and semi casual affairs, and brings a fun and flirty attitude to the event. This style really is timeless, and can be pulled out of the closet for a spring or summer affair even after it is no longer brand new.<br /><br />Alyce entire 2013 spring collection is fantastic; in 1955 when Alyce emigrated from France. She trained at the Paris Ecole de Couture, and started Alyce Designs in 1967 with her brother Jean-Paul Hamm, who ran the business side of things while she concentrated on the artistic side. <br /><br />Quality was always just as important as elegance, innovation and fresh style, and the current lineup of Alyce dresses proves that. Her nieces now run the company and are doing an excellent job of it - the French heritage is still quite evident in the designs, and the new designs live up to the standards of beauty, style and trend-setting that Alyce herself was known for.</p>
<p><br /><img src="http://www.promoutfitters.com/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce4244_1_7.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="550" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://www.promoutfitters.com/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce4243_1_1_7.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="550" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another great Alyce dress is the Alyce 4244, which features a shiny silver deep V top with a faux belt of rhinestones and a stringed, flapper style miniskirt. This outfit is guaranteed to turn heads, and will fit into many settings, from a hot night on the town to more formal affairs.<br /><br />Blush by Alexia Designs is another great design house that is run by the same people that bring innovation and quality to all the Alexia Design projects.

It is a form fitting mini perfect for a fun night on the town, and it too is one of those dresses that simply will not go out of style.

<p>Nothing carries quite so much cache in the world of style as the women swaying down the red carpet - celebrities have had a long history of setting fashion trends, but don't underestimate your own power - in the end, the consumer has the power over what is really popular when you vote with your pocketbook.<br /><br />Celebrity fashions do one thing very well though - they let us see different ideas, and how those dresses look on real people. When you see a young woman of Hollywood in a new party dress or gown, we have thousands of dresses in stock by some of the top designers in the world.<br /><br />It will be easy to find something in the same vein as what you favorite starlet is wearing, and we try to make sure that our dresses and gown won't break the bank. We have great dresses starting below a hundred dollars; it is easy to look like a celebrity with the right dress, and easy to search through our huge collection to find celebrity inspired designs.<br /><br />All of our dresses are 100% authentic designer dresses, from the best designers in the business. Style changes sweep across the fashion world quickly, and a beautiful dress this year might not be quite so hot in a year or two. Actresses and celebrities are very attuned to this, and checking out what they are wearing can give the regular girl something to shoot for when it comes to the style that is in.<br /><br />There are some dresses, though, that never seem to go out of style, and you will see actresses and celebrities going back to these old favorites again and again, like the small black mini such as the Sherri Hill 1522. No padded shoulders or extra frills on the skirt, just a classic, timeless look. <br /><br />Another classic look that celebrities love is the flowing gown, such as the MNM Couture 6748, an off the shoulder gorgeous gold sequined affair that hugs the body tautly to mid-thigh and then falls in loose waves to the floor.

One sure way to find the dress or gown that you want is to check out the Mac Duggal line of evening gowns and dresses.<br /><br />Some have said that Mac Duggal creates couture apparel. The truth is Mac Duggal creates a whole line of evening gowns, cocktail dresses and other apparel that is ready to wear and priced within budget for most women. All of these dresses and gowns have one thing in common: they are elegant! When it comes to styling that fits the word "glamorous" Mac Duggal can do that.<br /> <br />These creations often incorporate delicate fabrics that are luxurious and exotic.

      <link>http://www.promoutfitters.com/blog/Who-is-Alyce-and-How-Is-It-They-Create-Such-Stunning-Dresses-Over-and-Over/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2047_02_3.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="341" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2038_02_3.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="341" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2039_02_3.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="341" /></p>
<p>If you saw our posting concerning our new arrivals of Alyce dresses, you may be wondering just who Alyce is. At Prom Fitters, we want our customers to have as much information as they desire on both the items that we present to you as well as information on the designers who create those items.<br /><br />Alyce was founded by Alyce Hamm and has been in business in the US since 1967. Ms. Hamm passed away, but she spent more than 45 years working in the fashion industry and was well-known and well-loved by all those who knew her. The company is still a family-run company which makes it a standout for that reason alone. The company remains committed to creating dresses and gowns that are original, fresh, and innovative. <br /><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img style="float: right;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2038_7.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="331" /> Alyce specializes in creating dresses and gowns for occasions such as proms, graduations, weddings, and other events that are considered highlights of any woman's life. Because they never sacrifice quality, they are known as one of the most reliable and highly crafted dressmakers in the world today. In terms of design, they always try to bring in the European sense of glamour and beauty, which is what made Alyce Hamm so well-known in the first place.<br /><br />As proof of its high standards of quality and design innovation, Alyce has won many awards over the years. The vast majority of these awards were for its designs that focused on special occasion gowns, prom dresses, and bridal dresses. All of which are still crafted, to this day, in a style that is both elegant and fresh. <br /><br />According to Claudine Hamm, who is the COO of Alyce today, "This year's collections are couture and red-carpet inspired! We feature high fashion with dramatic statements like boy shorts under flowing chiffon gowns, sequined rompers, rhinestone bustiers, and more bling and glitz than prom girls have ever seen! Even perennially favorite goddess and mermaid silhouettes feature inventive embellishments like large rhinestones, high slits, and beautifully sculpted backs," Hanm added.<br /><br /></p>
<p>One of the more interesting tidbits that Alyce has reported lately is that even though longer gowns still make up the majority of sales in prom dresses, an increasing number of girls are looking for shorter dresses which emulate their favorite celebrities. The company understands that girls looking for prom dresses are very particular and they will not settle for anything less than what they want.</p>
<p><img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2108_7.jpg" alt="" width="330" height="494" /><img style="float: right;" src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/a/l/alyce2108_02_3.jpg" alt="" width="339" height="492" /></p>

Even if you have not heard of her, or know much about her, it is a good bet that you seen her work, even if you did not know it. She has designed dresses for many celebrities including Miranda Lambert, Snooki, Carrie Underwood, Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner and many, many others. <br /><br />Sherri Hill likes to push the boundaries, to say the least. Her forte is designing dresses, especially prom dresses, that are adored by thousands of young, hip girls who want to look their best on prom night. What sets Sherri Hill apart from many other designers is that she is able to create dresses that appeal to just about any kind of girl. If a young lady is looking for something hot and wicked, she will find it with a Sherri Hill creation. If she is looking for something pretty and frilly, she will find that as well. No one is left out when Sherri Hill begins to design her fabulous dresses.<br /><br />An example of just how popular Sherri Hill comes from the dress that she created for Selena Gomez. This wild creation with its tulle skirt and awesome hand-cut mirror-encrusted bustier is said to be the most desired and the most requested Sherri Hill dress for this year. <br /><br />Sherri Hill has a passion for fashion that goes well beyond what is found in some other designers. She does not play it safe when the urge to be bold takes hold of her. Her sense of what is hot in any given year is all but uncanny. Her ability to know what is hot on the scene, before it hits the scene, is just one reason so many celebrities turn to her when they want to a pacesetter. <img src="http://d2yyx5by6rv88c.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/s/h/sherrihill1434_2_3.jpg" alt="" width="755" height="520" /><br /><br />While Sherri Hill is known to create bold designs, she is also one of the best when it comes to creating finely detailed dress that are nothing less than exquisite. This in-depth knowledge of knowing how to be both bold and intricate comes from her years of experience as a top fashion designer. In 2008, she began to concentrate more on designing prom dresses, party dresses and a few pageant dresses. Her ability to create prom and party dresses that girls simply love is the main reason she is so popular with the group of young women. They know that they can find the prom dress or party dress that matches their personality as well as their budget and never have to sacrifice quality in the process.<br /><br /></p>
<p>This quality is assured because Sherri Hill only uses the best, most luxurious, fabrics, and she combines this with her incredible skill at choosing perfect colors and various embellishment that make her whole line of finely crafted dresses uniquely one-of-a-kind. It is not uncommon for her dresses to be considered "couture", but they are, in reality, available as ready to wear apparel. <br /><br />With all that said, Sherri Hill gowns are simply the perfect choice when looking for prom or party dresses.</p>
